The baby is about to be born, and parents need to make sufficient preparations for the baby's birth, among which a bottle is one that many parents need to prepare for their baby. But many parents are unaware that there are time constraints and requirements for their babies to use bottles. So, are you still using a bottle after 18 months?
18 months or older refers to the age of the baby, and it is generally not recommended to use a bottle for babies of this age. There is indeed a time limit for babies to use milk bottles. If a baby is over 18 months old, they must not be given a bottle. It is necessary to change their habit of using a bottle to drink milk. For babies over 18 months old, it is best to use a water cup when drinking water or milk.
Using a bottle for babies over 18 months old can have an impact on their teeth, which may not be noticeable at first but will gradually become apparent as they grow older. In fact, as early as twelve months old, parents can choose a more attractive cup for their baby to drink water, cultivate the habit of using a cup, and this is the first step to help babies change from using a bottle.
If the baby is over 18 months old and has not changed from using a bottle, parents should take it seriously. At this point, parents need to help their babies gradually change their habit of using bottles. However, it is important to take into account the baby's feelings throughout the process and not forcefully stop them. It is advisable to guide and help the baby slowly.
