Can Bottle Drinking Cause Stunted Growth In A Three Year Old?
Hello I have a three year old and she is still drinking from a bottle at night for bed I would like to also say that she is going thru a few life altering changes her father and I are going thru a divorce and she is being shuffled back and forth, etc. I was wondering if her using this to calm her at bedtime (the one constant thing she has left)is this stunting her growth, or creating a medical diagnosis that will harm her?
