MOTN bottles and brushing teeth

traveltheworld

For those of you with LO that still wants a bottle/sippy of milk after bed-time, do you brush his/her teeth again?  DS has been waking up anywhere between 10 p.m. - midnight every night wanting some milk.  He usually passes right out afterwards so we don't mind feeding him; but he is getting these little white spots on his 2 front teeth and I think it may be due to the high milk sugar.  I'm worried that if I brush his teeth, that'll wake him up fully and he won't go back to sleep easily then.  He HATES it when we brush his teeth and it's a struggle every night already.  But I guess I just have to do it?

My 13 month old started waking and wanting a bottle now sippy of milk. I started stressing about his teeth. So I tried giving him a sippy of water instead of milk. It worked and now I don't worry about his teeth we just brush in the morning and after bath. Occasionally during the day depending on what he eats

My DD did this until about 15 months so I would give her a sippy of milk, but then have a water sippy ready as a chaser   She was so sleepy after the milk that she'd always take a few sips of water before she realized what it was, then went right to sleep.  I felt like at least we rinsed off her teeth a little, since brushing in the MOTN would have rocked both our worlds, and the cycle would've had to start all over again.
