i bottle feed my kids with formula milk . yes just lie down no carry. some time it really hard to make them brush teeth after milk especially like 3 to 5am feed or during the night when they super tired . what i do is i will also stand by their water (in bottle) . after finish his milk i quickly swap with the water at least he can get to drink a bit of water to flush away the milk on his tooth .

gd idea!they dont like to drink water frm bottle though..i'll see what i can do..thks again!

Is it bottle feed or breastfeeding? If it is bottle feed specially with FM, it might not be a good idea as it might cause tooth decay in long run. It is always good to rinse the mouth after bottle feed.

thks for sharing.Its bottle fed..it's twice a day brushing teeth,it it enough?they are also sleeping when drinking..so i don't normally rinse every milk feed especially in the night.

It is ok I think. My gal wakes up at 3am to drink and right after drinking although I will like to carry her inclined for a while she refused and will push her way to lie flat in my arms

1year old is def okay. once my LO head is stable, i allowed them to drink milk while lying down. and go to sleep immediately if they dozed off after that.
