Dear Mandy:

There is no evidence to support weaning at 12 months to prevent dental
caries. The "link" was based on 3 articles (Garner, Kotlow and Brams) in the
early 1980's describing case reports of only 7 babies and did not consider
enamel defects, other foods/fluids, and oral hygiene and levels of strep
mutans.  Please read the attached file for more information. Dr. Lawrence has
responded to this nonsense about weaning at 12 months very eloquently. If as
much energy was put into preventing bottle feeding as preventing baby bottle
tooth decay, we'd be much further ahead from a public health perspective.

If the file doesn't come through, e-mail me privately and I'll try and send a
copy.

Linda Smith in Dayton OH
