Bottles/Milk?
Hi! Is the “no more bottles” due to worries of cavities? Or what’s the logic? My gal takes 2 x 8 oz per day. Sometimes on in the middle of the night. Sippy cup nipple on it. Just curious what everyone is being told/reading/hearing.

The logic from my doc and dentist is that the sugar in milk erodes their teeth which is why we brush before bed
I've been told they should be off the bottle by 15 months because it can cause cavities. Bottles and sippy cups also require a different mouth shape than open cups or straw cups, so doctors are generally recommending against sippy cups and suggesting going right to straws now. Mine has been off the bottle since January and has only used a straw cup.
