Dear Lactnetters,
Someone recently posted on Lactnet about this topic. Here are the results of
a study published in PEDIATRICS Vol. 116 No. 4 October 2005, pp. 921-926.
The conclusion is not the one that many of us expected to see.
Laura Hart, Winter Park, FL
Comparison of the Cariogenicity of Cola, Honey, Cow Milk, Human Milk, and
Sucrose
Conclusions. Our data show that the use of honey, cola, and sucrose water in
nursing bottles should be discouraged. Although human milk is more cariogenic
than cow milk, it is no more cariogenic than are common infant formulas.
Protracted exposure to human milk or formula through allowing an infant to sleep on
the nipple should be discouraged, and the need for oral hygiene after tooth
eruption should be emphasized.
