DD (not even 5 months old!!), had 2 teeth pop through earlier this week. We are wiping them with a wet washcloth now, but our pedi suggested using a toothbrush with water soon. Does anybody have a toothbrush they like and your baby tolerates? What about toothpaste? I'll probably wait another month until we introduce solids before using the toothpaste, but I guess I should be prepared.
We use Spry tooth gel (xylitol is the magic ingredient - it's sweet, safe for babies and discourages the growth of cariogenic bacteria). When DS got top teeth I switched to a regular, soft bristle baby/toddler brush. He does not like having his teeth brushed :/
g has recently decided that brushing his teeth is the worst thing ever. But, we found he loves the Elmo video / song about it. I play it ever night when it's time to brush his teeth and he happily lets us do it.
