  I don't understand the correlation.

  I'm a little with pp.

  I feel bad for you. That sucks. But I'm not entirely sure you should be so hard on yourself in the first place. Some kids just have bad teeth by nature no matter when you took the bottle away, no matter how you set sippy cup rules.

  Did you let your kid sleep with a bottle day in, day out and all night and full of kool-aid?

  My kid was a bottle addict and needs rehab for her sippy cup addiction at this point, but her teeth aren't bad at all.

   

  I'm not being hard on you. I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just sort of confused.

  Given that you have a regular dental hygiene habit with your daughter, I can't fathom it's the bottle that's the problem.  Among other things, you might want to check her for celiac disease.  Tooth problems (especially with soft enamel) in the early years is a major sign, though many dentists don't know much about it.

  Did the dentist tell you it was the bottle?  As a young child I had to have all my baby teeth removed and capped because I had weak enamel.  After any kind of dental work (and believe me I had it all, I probably had more root canals than most adults) my mother always let me have a special surprise, I could pick out a toy from the toy store or once she even bought me a pet bunny.  It made it not so hard if I had something to look forward to afterward.  Could you do something like that, even if it's small.  Like letting her pick out a movie to watch or have an outing to the zoo (not right after of course, but something special to look forward to).
