Bottle right before bed or a bit before?

We do bottle, book, bed x

So our dentist said that the most important brushing of teeth is before bed due to it being the longest time that bacteria can build up so they said to try as much as possible to brush teeth after last meal and milk of the day… but lol I assume many babies aren’t doing that 😅

We do bottle downstairs at least half an hour before bed so it’s not associated with bedtime but that’s only because LO was heavily reliant on bottle and rocking to fall asleep so we worked to break those associations x

@Luba hey! How do you work to break the association of bottle to sleep? Thanks x

@Alanahey lovely. Basically feeding as long from any sleep as possible so at least half an hour before naps and bed. Never feeding in their sleep space so no bottles upstairs for us and making feeding time not like sleepy relaxing but a bit more energetic time like having some music on or chatting to baby and lights on x
