Most likely it's genetics or spoon sharing with an adult... don't beat yourself up over the small stuff! You have 2 beautiful, healthy babes that YOU made and take care of 24/7! YOU ROCK :-)Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212784943901832714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410334128775438057.post-86814379377748306792010-07-09T08:13:19.416-05:002010-07-09T08:13:19.416-05:00Hugs Maria!

So...Hugs Maria! I'm there with you many days!<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the cavities. You know my experience. My top recommendation is not to beat yourself up over it. Make whatever changes you feel will make a difference and go from there. Our dentist said that cavities caused by nursing or taking a bottle are limited to the top teeth b/c the tongue shields the bottom teeth. So he had no explanation for the cause of the lower molar cavities in Izzy. <br /><br />My prayers are with you and your family as you go through this with his grandmother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410334128775438057.post-15883896576263334882010-07-09T07:41:35.933-05:002010-07-09T07:41:35.933-05:00We all go through periods when everything seems to...We all go through periods when everything seems to go wrong. I've sure been there. Your house will gradually get cleaner as your kids get older. Trying to clean with kids in the house is like trying to nail Jello to the wall.<br /><br />When Chuck was little he got tons of cavities because he was on liquid antibiotics all the time (asthma). Has Claire been on a lot of medicine? <br /><br />Maybe this can be your reason to night wean - "Claire, you can't nurse anymore until morning, you've already brushed your teeth. You'll get more cavities." Not saying that the nursing caused it, but if you're looking for a good excuse... She's old enough to understand that logic. <br /><br />Also, what kind of toothpaste are you using on her? I was using fluoride-free toothpaste thinking that I was doing the right thing (fluoride being a neurotoxin and all), and our dentist said that I should be using toothpaste with fluoride, so we switched.<br /><br />Hang in there. It'll get better. I'm really sorry about Josh's grandmother.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10315843187811122669noreply@blogger.com
