@dr.kavita.t: Anyone who wants to disagree please look at the studies before hand - and COME WITH EVIDENCE and with references. For real. (Can you tell that I’m tired that the same myths keep coming up!) #Breastfeeding #pumpingmom #babyteeth #newborn #cavities
But if they are getting cavities on their front teeth, which usually tells you that a high sugar liquid content has been sitting on them. But they don’t have bottles only breastmilk. It tells me differently, I have personally seen cases with co slept breastfed babies have cavities on their front teeth.

Adventure Time :
When I went to my son's first dental check up at 6 months old the dentist told me to stop breastfeeding at night. Thankfully I knew better than to listen to this but what if they said that to someone with PPD or PPA, that would stress the hell out of them. I'm soon going to his 1 year check up and if I get told this again, I'm actually going to show them this video because it makes me so angry that they spread misinformation.

I had a MALE dentist tell me to stop breastfeeding my 1 year daughter due to causing cavities. I had to respectfully remind him of the powers of breastmilk, and that I would not be falling for that type of fear without evidence.

My baby has been getting a lot to ear infections and I'm starting to think it's from BFing laying down at night

Yup, my daughters pediatrician said to stop breastfeeding at night bc my daughter will get cavities. And if i do breastfeed at night to follow up with brushing her teeth! 🤯 sounded pretty damn ridiculous!!!!

I just wanted to say. After difficulty with breastfeeding with my last child, and having to switch to formula. I watched all your videos on breastfeeding, I learnt more than I ever did through my local health visiting team. I Just weighed my exclusively breastfed newborn baby and he is gaining weight and meeting his milestones. Thank you.

Thank you!! So many dentists are saying it causes cavities and to stop breastfeeding at night once teeth come in. Like are you kidding me? So ridiculous! My baby got teeth the day he turned 4 months!

We have a dentist in our area that was handing out pamphlets during Halloween that said to stop breastfeeding at 12 months. Immediate no from us and found a dentist who supports breast feeding!

Omg I’m so glad you posted this video. Our family dentist (also family friend) has been nagging me to stop breastfeeding my 15-month-old and that I would be responsible for all the baby’s cavities. She would even add comments like “and you know there isn’t much nutritional value now that he’s 1”. 😡

I’m so exhausted of the bad advice from every person I know that’s had a baby as soon as they find out I have a six month old son. They tell me I need to sleep train, they tell me I shouldn’t feed him back to sleep at night they tell me he will have cavities if I feed him back to sleep at night, on and on 😒 so annoying
