A mom brings her 15 month old in for a routine checkup. What are effective strategies to wean the child from having a bottle of milk in the crib every night?
  1. Give the baby juice instead of milk.
  2. Stop giving the child the bottle and allow the child to cry.
  3. Give only a bottle of water at bedtime.
  4. Try a different bedtime routine.
Explanation
Answer: C- An effective strategy to wean the child from having a bottle of milk at bedtime is to replace the milk with water. It isn’t healthy to have juice or milk at night because of the risk of tooth decay. Children will often become disinterested in a bottle at night when the only option is water.
