Inappropriate baby bottle use is associated with tooth decay, anemia, and overweight, and it may adversely affect dietary patterns. Parents often do not follow guidance to wean by 18 months of life. We piloted a brief, counseling-based weaning intervention in an urban WIC agency among primarily Hispanic parent/toddler dyads. At baseline (n = 48), toddlers consumed a mean 4.7 bottles/day. At follow-up (n = 39), the intervention group consumed fewer mean bottles/day than controls (0.09 vs 2.0 bottles/day, P < .045). Half the toddlers in the experimental group and one third of the control groups weaned completely. Parents of weaned children were satisfied with the outcome.
不恰当的奶瓶使用与龋齿、贫血和超重有关，并且可能对饮食模式产生不利影响。父母通常不遵循在孩子18个月大时断奶的指导建议。我们在一个城市妇女、婴儿和儿童营养补充计划（WIC）机构对主要是西班牙裔的父母/幼儿二元组进行了一项基于咨询的简短断奶干预试验。在基线时（n = 48），幼儿平均每天使用4.7个奶瓶。在随访时（n = 39），干预组平均每天使用的奶瓶数量少于对照组（0.09个/天对2.0个/天，P < 0.045）。实验组中有一半的幼儿和对照组中有三分之一的幼儿完全断奶。断奶孩子的父母对结果感到满意。
