[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started with the fingertip brush when her top two teeth came in (around 7-8 months) and "graduated" to a baby toothbrush (we use the MAM) around 12 months. We actually have two toothbrushes. One for the adult and one for the baby. Often she'll stick her toothbrush in her mouth and we help her move it back and forth, or she'll try to stick her toothbrush in my or DH's mouth and that will distract her enough that we can brush her teeth with the 2nd toothbrush. It's a complicated process ;-) We don't use toothpaste, but if you do, I've read to use the kind without fluoride and they'll just swallow it. There is definitely no spitting at this age. [b]Also, are you trying to brush your baby's teeth in the bathroom in the front of the mirror? Because we just made it part of her bedtime routine. Bottle, books, brush teeth, night night[/b].[/quote] That is to say, we just brush her teeth in her bedroom.[/quote]
