Just wondering, if we don't use milk bottle, how able drinking from straw or cup？ reduce dental problems?

Oppsgal:

Why drink milk at night will have teeth spoil? Drink already brush teeth?

No lor, brush teeth first than go to bed and drink bottle milk, then drift off to sleep.... :sad:
Now change already. After brushing teeth straightaway go to bed, no drinking at all. He big boy already!

DesertWind:

To answer the original question, my elder boy reduced the intake of formula milk naturally when he started pre-school at the year-turning-3 stage. From then, he only take it once a day at night just before going to bed. Then at 5 1/2 years old, went to dentist and found that he need dental rehabilitation and dentist told us to wean him off completely. After the dental fix, boy listened to dentist and automatically now he did not even ask for his bottle at night anymore.


Too bad it had to come after the major dental rehab. because the nightly feed had affected his teeth quite badly.

Now for my number two, we will try to wean him off formula-milk (& bottle) asap (perhaps when he turns three).

I have switched to goat milk for the kids for about 6 months nows. So far so good. I had stated on organic milk since last year. Not only was it expensive, it was a trouble getting it. often out of stock.
What I like about goat milk.
1.Freshness - likely we consume within 8 days. whereas the fresh milk from the supermarket is probably much older.
2. Higher protein content - being largely vegetarians , milk is a important source of protein for my kids besides egg.

The bad part
1.The smell is uggg.. but the kids got used to it gradually. I totally cant even take a sip.
2. Delivery is done early in the morning - sometimes b4 5am :stupid:

My kid drinks the powder goat milk...no smell.

Fresh goat milk very expensive.

My hubby said so too.... according to him, all milk from Japan have vanilla blend in it :?


But I can't tell the difference, only know Japan's milk taste better somehow, especially the Hokkaido ones.

I know. I drink soy milk these days, but even so, if I drink too much, eg. more than 2 cups, I get gastric problems too. So is that lactose-intolerant?

PS. Sorry to TS... this is more about ah pek problems than baby problems... how to remove ah peks from fresh milk?

Uncle what you have may be a weak or ineffective digestive system rather than lactose intolerance.

DH avoids fresh milk in the mornings as it causes the runs. :siam: :imconstipated: But he has no issues eating ice-cream or any dairy base products once he has some food in him.

By the way, guys should not take too much soy product, may end up with man boobs.

I have been amazed by the things people ask me about food. Eg does pasta and bread contain gluten? These are well educated people but they don't know what's in their food!

[quote=\"Jennifer\"]I think Meji has preservatives. There is a Greenfields milk available now. We tried it - more natural, less vanilla taste in it.

Meiji milk got vanilla taste meh? Never noticed.

Me, I have a car, but my fridge no space so will still have to make about 2 trips in 1 week for milk. The kids like Meiji fresh. A 2L bottle lasts 2 days, maybe 3 days at most.

Actually if I calculate, not any cheaper than formula milk. They go through about 3 2L bottles of milk costing $5+ per bottle a week, so in 1 month I spend about $60 on milk alone. :moneyflies:

I prefer Meiji too. If you have space in the freezer, you can freeze an extra bottle. Let it thaw one day ahead in the fridge.

I do the same for goat's milk when I do buy them from the farm. I will buy extra and freeze them. When the milk is very cold, it does not have a smell.
