as far as telling the parent not to give bottle or paci anymore, they are going to do what they want anyway, so if you dont want them to have it, you only have control over what goes on in your home. you can mention it, but either they will heed your words or say they took them away when they really didnt

I dont even bother telling parents what the research says or what the dentist recommends. They dont care or they would be doing it already. Never once have I shared information like that and gotten a serious, "OMG I NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE
" reaction. They know. They dont want to do the work that it requires to not do it. Go ahead and ruin your kids teeth and give them a terrible overbite. Your money your problem.
