Is it good for children to drink milk before bed?

Nowadays, many families have only one child, and the living standards are also improving. Parents are paying more and more attention to their babies. When they hear that a glass of milk before bed can help sleep, parents give their children milk before bed. So is this practice advisable or not? Does drinking milk before bed really help babies improve their sleep quality? This is actually wrong. Let's find out the reasons below.

In fact, this practice is very undesirable. Why? Experts point out that drinking milk before going to bed can easily cause respiratory diseases in children. The baby's throat is a place where dirt and filth are easily hidden. If not properly cared for, it can easily lead to repeated respiratory infections. Drinking milk before going to bed increases the chance of respiratory infections. Because the baby's nasopharynx and pharynx are relatively narrow and vertical, although the tonsils have a certain defense function, milk is a good bacterial culture medium.

When a child finishes drinking milk, the remaining milk ferments and deteriorates in the mouth, which can easily cause bacteria to multiply in the mouth and cause inflammation, especially in the throat, tonsil folds, and pits, often leading to diseases such as pharyngitis, infectious laryngitis, tonsils, and dental caries. Not only that, feeding milk to babies before bedtime can easily cause the following hazards: Among them, feeding milk before bedtime can easily cause the baby to fall asleep while drinking milk. When the baby falls asleep, the baby's consciousness is not clear, and the assistance of the oropharyngeal muscles is insufficient, which cannot effectively protect the tracheal opening, and it is easy to cause the risk of choking caused by the infiltration of milk;

From this it can be seen that there are many harms of feeding milk to babies before going to bed. Not only that, experts also pointed out that since humans are the most advanced animals on earth, their psychological and behavioral patterns are different from those of other animals. Humans will only seek when they have needs.

Although many parents have been feeding their children in the wrong way, after reading this article, everyone will understand the reasons and can correct this habit in the future. If you feed your baby milk before going to bed, the baby will be in a confused state and his appetite will decrease in the long run. Parents can try to advance the time for feeding their children in the future. Remember not to let your child fall asleep with a bottle in his mouth, as this is a very bad habit.
