My baby sister is 5 turning 6, and she still drinks warm/hot milk. Is this normal?

Question

I'm just wondering.

Answer 1

Warm milk is normal.

The bottle is not.

She needs to immediately stop using a bottle.  She should have stopped using the bottle by the age of 18 months, or 2 at the LATEST.

Drinking from a bottle is bad for your teeth; especailly drinking milk from a bottle because milk has a lot of sugar in it.  When you drink from a bottle, the liquid stays on your teeth longer, and the high sugar in milk will rot them faster.

Wean her from that bottle immediately like she should have been weaned 4 or 5 years ago!

Good luck!

Answer 2

Sure, my daughter likes hot dr pepper and she is 11. It is a preference thing.

Answer 3

If she likes it. Adults can drink hot milk to try and fall asleep. Why wouldnt it be normal? Is every drink you have cold?

Answer 4

i think it is a little bit of babying. i would not do it at that age. crazy nowadays!!!

Answer 5

the milk is normal, the bottle is not.    get her off that, she is going to end up with buck teeth like a beaver

Answer 6

Not normal at all you mum needs to get herself together and stop treating your sister like a baby.

Not good for your sister at all to be drinking all this milk as she is not hungry then for the foods she needs and also the teat is not good for development of teeth, upper jaw line and speech.

Throw all the bottles away and get your sister to pick her own cup to drink out off she'll feel alot more grown up.

All babys should stop drinking out of bottles by the time they're 1, during the day and 2, at bed time.

My daughter stopped drinking from a bottle at 1 year old and just had a bottle for bed until she was 2. She has drunk from a cup ever since with no problems and has been using a cup for juice and water during the day since she was 5 months old.

Answer 7

Yes, it's very normal....although not very settling for the stomach when it's hot outside.

There are some adults who still drink warm milk, they just prefer it that way...No harm is being done, unless she's still drinking it out of a bottle.

Answer 8

Nothing wrong with it at all. Thats just the way she likes it. She should not be drinking from a bottle at that age.
