Breastfeeding to sleep - tooth decay?

[joey123]

Is it bad to breastfeed my daughter to sleep? She is 25 months old and I've done it since she was born. Now she is only bfed occassionally when she wakes in the morning, but every night and she falls asleep on the breast and I then put her into her bed. I brush her teeth before I bf her. Is this bad for her teeth?

Great question.
There is some info on Breastfeeding and tooth decay here.

Thank you so so so so much. I was considering weaning her, for this reason only, but now realise that there is no need. I didn't realise how much it was bothering me, until now. I feel like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders! She will now continue to bf until we are both ready to stop! Xx
