Please no judgement. My daughter - just 4 a couple of weeks ago - still drinks whole milk. Guzzles it to be honest. I cannot get her off her bottle. I have a couple of questions.

Should I have switched her semi skimmed a while ago? I’ve only just realised if doesn’t matter anymore.

The bottle- she drinks milk from it in the evening and in the morning. She loves it. She is not ‘babied’ in any other way - dresses herself head to toe every morning, is incredibly chatty and will walk/run for miles. Has been potty trained since just over two. Her teeth are fine. We’ve just had a check up - I was worried the bottle might be damaging them. But she loves this bottle. Does it really matter? Should I just let her have it?
She’s my only child if you couldn’t tell!

A couple of minutes drinking a bottle is not going to rot her teeth. It's not like she's sleeping with a bottle of sugary juice in her mouth.

I reckon if it is encouraging them to drink milk (healthy) and giving them comfort, it's a good thing

With regards the type of milk, everyone knows gold top is the best 😌

Probably get attacked for this but I really don't see this as much of an issue if it's one a day - you can get rid of the bottle maybe and try a different cup so like a sippy cup then onto a normal cup! Nothing wrong with a bottle of full fat milk imo.
