9 year old still drinks from a bottle!!!!!

Why does she think her 9yr old needs milk?? That is very abnormal and it’s going to mess up her teeth. So strange!

They're already messed up. Her teeth look like chalk and almost all of her teeth are crooked. I had wondered why they looked like that but now I know. She claims that her daughter doesn't drink enough fluids through the day and her child's doctor told her to drink milk since she's so skinny. She sees nothing wrong with it.

Like a sippy cup? My kids use sippy cups if they take a beverage out of the kitchen, which is not a lot. I do not think that is so hard on their teeth.

I think she's facing much larger issues with this child in the near future.

You make a 9 yr old drink out of a sippy cup?

Weird but not my kid not my problem. My kids hate milk. I didn't force it. Knock on wood no broken bones. One can get calcium in other ways. Green leafy vegetables, milkshakes, cheese, etc.

My thoughts? Weird, but not my kid. We all have some kind of vice in life, and a bottle seems pretty harmless to me.

Unless she grows up and trades the milk bottle for a whiskey bottle.

A 9yo needing a bottle to drink milk speaks to me of an unhealthy emotional attachment, and honestly I could see that all too easily turning into an unhealthy emotional attachment to alcohol.
The mom should have stopped that shit about 7 years ago. There is no need for the girl to have milk in the first place.

Except she didn't say sippy cup. She said bottle. Like a baby bottle. Those things should be completely gone by the time the child turns 24 mo.

That is one hell of a reach, a bottle is equal to alcoholism? Common now, you can do better then that. It’s like saying a kid who is attached to their blanket is going to turn into a shopaholic or a kid who is attached to a particular stuffy is going to grow up and be a furry.

I do agree that nobody needs milk, but I think I read where the ladies doctor wants the kid to have milk in her diet so I’ll leave that up to the parent and the doctor.

I can make you even more appalled, I make my 11 year old too, lol. But only if they takes it out of the kitchen. He usually stays in the kitchen. They have a variety of lidded drinking cups, from straws, to the cheap sippies with valves removed which they can choose from..I have a lidded coffee cup in front of me right now too!!

No child should take a bottle to bed because it DOES damage teeth! There is no good reason. Mom is just lazy.
