Dr. Eric M Meyer, DDS understands that breastfeeding is a very special time for a new mother. The act itself has many nutritional benefits for a child as breast milk helps your baby fight off viruses and bacteria and lowers your baby’s risk of developing asthma or allergies. Breastmilk is not only beneficial to your child’s overall health; it can also be very helpful in developing a child’s smile.
Breastfeeding reduces the risk of baby bottle tooth decay – a condition that is caused by the frequent and long-term exposure of a child’s teeth to liquids containing sugars. This is because breast milk contains a unique blend of nutrients, live organisms, antibodies, and enzymes that formula cannot duplicate. Additionally, because the act of breastfeeding requires a baby to use their jaw and tongue in a sophisticated manner, breastfeeding is critical for a baby’s jaw, dental, and airway development.
