Not a good idea: This is not good for baby's developing teeth. Pure sugar water is not healthy for baby.

You're kidding right: Multiple studies have documented that any feeding activity at bedtime increases the risk of a sleep disturbance by 400% for the first 4 years of life. You may have a short term fix but a long term fight later.Then there is the issue of rotting out the kids teeth as they emerge and needing anesthesia for operative dental restoration at 2-3 years of age. Bad idea.

Absolutely awful idea. Google "Baby Bottle Syndrome." Never put baby to sleep with a bottle. And if you must, nothing in the bottle except plain water. And make sure b baby has 1st dental appt no later than 1st b'day. Recommend that you see a Pedodontist, a Children's Dental Specialist.
