My baby drinks its bottle in their bed. Is this dangerous?

Postnatal, Your questions

Marie, to put him to bed, I give my baby his bottle in the crib. Is this dangerous?

Thanks for everything! Chantal


Be careful Chantal! I am glad you have doubts because you shouldn’t place your baby in their bed with a bottle because of aspiration (liquid in their respiratory tract) risks. This can lead to choking. It can also cause cavities as milk remains in the child’s mouth. Please don’t take this lightly, and I’m glad you asked the question. He will get used to you rocking with dad or mom and their bottle and then going to bed to sleep. You need to set the proper routine.

Talk soon,
