Should i start giving my 6 month old a bottle in the middle of the night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No milk at night : 6 months old child should not have formula at night because milk residual could cause oral thrust. If child starts to have teeth milk residual would cause teeth decay. It is a bad oral hygiene habit as the child growing. Finally the 6 months old child does not need feeding at night to grow. She or he can have plenty of food in day time.
