		How can I prevent tooth decay from nursing or a bottle?
		Taking your baby off of the breast when he/she falls snoozing can prevent baby tooth decay. Hold your baby while bottle feeding. Always take a bottle filled with milk or juice away from the sleeping child. If your child requires a bottle at bedtime, provide a bottle filled with water. Instead of a bottle try comforting your child with a pacifier or a favorite toy or blanket, or read a story. Check with your health care provider to make sure your child is getting the right amount of fluoride. Brush your baby's teeth with a soft toothbrush daily.

		*When should bottle feeding be stopped?*
		Begin teaching your baby to use a cup by seven months. It's a good idea to introduce juice in a cup. Your baby can be off the bottle by 12 months.
