Breastfeeding is good for your baby’s teeth!

Babies’ teeth are formed during pregnancy. Which is why it is so important to eat a suitable and careful diet during this period.
Once the baby is born, breastfeeding is obviously the best way of feeding your child up to the age of at least 6 months. Breast milk contains everything your baby needs and breastfeeding will allow your baby to build up the best possible bone and dental capital. Another advantage is that breastfeeding requires less effort than bottle feeding and suckling at the breast promotes the development of facial and jaw muscles.

Babies who are breastfed have better aligned teeth and require less orthodontic work later in life! If, in spite of all this you still opt for the bottle, be sure to choose a teat that is as similar to a nipple as possible.
