Bottle to Bed?

[Inspired by Reggio]

....As far as my own kids, they were/are all breastfed so there was/is nothing I can do to stop them from going to sleep at the breast. And admittedly, if I cant get the little one to go to sleep... I resort to nursing him! ....

I would do the same thing. IMO breastmilk is 'natural' to the human body and since the dawn of time children have been nursed to sleep with it and we evolved to have healthy teeth .... IMU breast milk does not cause the same issues as 'formula and cows milk' which are not natural to US ... formula is man made and full of sugars to make it taste palatable and cows milk is meant for well BABY COWS and therefore humans do not digest it in the same manner and it breaks down into a higher form of sugar in our bodies and in our mouths as a result ... in reality we are the only mammals on earth who consume the breast milk of other animals for nutrition mostly because we CAN not sure if a cow would lie still for a fox cub to come up and suckle its teat

Any way my point with breast feeding is that the human nipple does not continue to leak into their mouth as they fall asleep - as the start to fall asleep they suck less and less intensely and can than swallow what is in their mouth as the less they suck your flow of breast milk 'stops' and they are just suckling for comfort that last little bit before unlatching .... the challenge with a BOTTLE specially IN BED is that the milk or formula continues to LEAK into their mouth long after they fall asleep you do not need to SUCK on most bottles to get the liquid out you just turn it upside down and out it slowly comes ... so more likely to stay in mouth, on gums and form the plague that causes tooth issues, more likely to cause the choking issue and more likely to drip down into their ears and so forth.
