Is nursing my baby at night bad for her teeth?

Question

I have a 9 month old and she has four teeth already. She still wakes up 2 or 3 times a night to nurse and I read somewhere it’s bad for their teeth.

Answer

I don't think it'd bad for their teeth but breast milk does have sugar in it. I stopped breast feeding at 5 months and then switched to formula. We always wiped her mouth and teeth after feedings overnight with a little bit of water. I'm a freak about oral health though

Answer

No. Her dentist and pediatrician both assured me it’s fine.

Answer

I think it depends on a lot. Lip tie, genetics, mouth hygiene, vitamin D, calcium, etc
My baby's teeth started showing signs of decay 2 months after they came in. I went from dentist to dentist and no one helped or could tell me the specific cause. He was Still exclusively being breast fed. He had a lip tie and his father also has weak teeth. When he slept, he would dream feed and that 4-5 times a night. He kept the last milk in his mouth as he slept off, just drops. Nothing that would choke him, but enough to get him yellow teeth. The lip tie just caused the milk to even get trapped longer between his gum and lip. Only way i managed to curb the decay was constant cleaning furing the day but it wasnt enough as i didnt do it at night. Luckily he is now weaned, his lip tie broke on its own and  1½ years down the road, his teeth havent gotten worse but the damage that was done was done. We tried to get feelings but they broke away almost immediately because his teeth were tiny. I didnt bother taking him back for another session and they put the kid under. Now i just try to keep his teeth from getting worse as i wait for him to lose them. I finally got a doctor who prescribed a cream for me to apply before bedtime and advised me wean at night. Just one look and she knew am still breastfeeding. 
I know many people say it has nothing to do with breast milk, but i was exclusively breastfeeding when my sons teeth decayed. I breast fed for 28 months also because i couldnt get him to eat for the life of me. But i think the lip tie played a role in him rejecting food. And until i got a dentist who considered my milk as the cause, i didnt find any practical help.

Answer

Def not, was this a credible source where you read it?

Answer

Nope, not bad at all. Milk In a bottle after 1 in bed is bad for the teeth.
