I’m a man in my twenties but like to enjoy a warm bottle of milk in bed
DEAR DEIDRE: ENJOYING a warm bottle of milk in bed is normal for me – but I have never done it in front of any of my girlfriends.
I use a baby bottle and it comforts me as I settle.
I’m male and in my early twenties and fully aware that any girlfriend would run a mile if she knew.
But I’m not hurting anyone and it helps me relax.
I’ve done it on and off for all of my life.
It tends to happen more when I’m stressed or run down.
What should I do?

DEIDRE SAYS: It’s true you are not hurting anyone but most women would probably struggle to accept this habit.
So for the long-term future of your relationships, I would recommend speaking to your GP who could offer alternative ways to relax.
Negative emotions can be hard to overcome. Using a bottle may provide a temporary relief but it’s not a permanent solution.
You would be wise to find a way to address any underlying issues and develop new coping strategies that can help you long-term.
