A nurse is counseling parents about preventing dental caries in their preschooler. What advice should the nurse provide regarding bottle feeding?


Correct Answer: D

A. Allowing the child to fall asleep with a bottle containing milk or juice can lead to dental caries (tooth decay) due to prolonged exposure of the teeth to sugary liquids.

B. Filling the bottle with sugary drinks increases the risk of dental caries. Sugary drinks should be limited, and water is the healthiest choice for hydration.

C. Gradually transitioning the child to a cup around their first birthday is a good practice. It helps prevent prolonged bottle use, reducing the risk of dental problems.

D. Offering a bottle filled with water only during bedtime or naps is a safe practice. Water does not pose a risk of dental caries, and it keeps the child hydrated without harming their teeth.
