What do you suggest if my son is about to be a year old and he gets a bottle before bed and when he wakes up in the morning.?

Dr. Tanya Russo answered

Stop the bottle: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends discontinuation of a bottle and transition to cow's milk. Bottle use at bedtime is particularly discouraged as it can lead to dental disease, ear infections and sleep problems (often used for comfort/calming).
