Baby Bottle Facts: The Potential Impact on Dental and Speech Development 🍼

Did you know that using a baby milk bottle for an extended period can have negative effects on your child's dental and speech development? 🦷🗣️
In this video, we'll explore the potential issues associated with prolonged bottle use, including:
Bottle Rot: This condition, also known as early childhood caries, occurs when sugary liquids from a bottle remain on the baby's teeth for extended periods, leading to tooth decay and cavities.
Speech Development Delays: Prolonged bottle use can hinder the development of proper tongue movements and oral motor skills, which are crucial for speech production.
To mitigate these potential concerns, we recommend introducing a cup or a sippy cup around 6 months of age to gradually transition your baby away from the bottle. This helps promote healthy dental and speech development.
