As I ride the NYC subway very often, I came across a campaign, from the City of New York, aimed at protecting your children against tooth decay. As concerned parents we want to help spread the word.

NYC-ToothDecay

One of the many benefits that Bare® has to offer is the Perfe-latch® nipple. Unlike ordinary bottles, Bare® bottles don’t dispense liquid without active suction and proper latching, even when it’s turned upside down. The Perfe-latch® nipple has a shallow teat to resemble a mother’s breast. The shallow nipple prevents your baby from keeping the bottle at his/her mouth while sleeping, or from using it as pacifier. While Bare® can help, the best aid to help prevent tooth decay is YOU!

The NYC ad suggests the following:

  • Don’t use a bottle as a pacifier;
  • Don’t put your baby to sleep with a bottle; and
  • Avoid putting sugary drinks in bottles.
