I agree that flu season is NOT the time to wean!  Look into that lip tie idea.   Makes more sense than weaning.   Isn't it sad that every solution to every problem is wean.  
Personal experience - 1 formula fed child - cavities in front teeth, 1 Bf child - cavities in front teeth :-(  
There are many factors going on, brushing, night nursing (I would try to cut that down), bacteria spread in a family,  - fix what you can and keep nursing for the other health reasons.  Be vigilant so 2nd teeth are healthier.  Pat in SNJ

Has this toddler got a lip tie ? this can cause milk to pool at night in the pockets and cause the front incisor cavities. Day time solids can also get caught up in them.Most lactose caused caries from night continuous night drip feeding are in the back teeth.
