Baby Bottle Syndrome Baby bottle syndrome is where cavities form due to the over use of a nursing bottle in the infant's mouth. In many cases, the cavities resulting from baby bottle syndrome occur when an infant falls asleep with a baby bottle containing a liquid high in sugar or fermentable carbohydrate (milk, juice, or soda) in his/her mouth. Liquids pool around the teeth and the bacteria from the liquid created bacteria, resulting in tooth decay and eventual cavities.
