Teeth

DS has 4 more teeth coming in...that's a total of 10.. He hates when I finger brush them so have been using a wash cloth to wipe them down daily.

 

how many teeth does your LO have and are you brushing daily?

DD has 8 so far and I am pretty sure she is working on her canines.  She's miserable.  DS pretty much had all his teeth, except the 2 years at this point.

She has 5 so far, but I think a sixth is about to break through. I've really lucked out in that Charlotte loves having her teeth brushed, so I brush her teeth at least once a day, usually twice.

We have 6 teeth. I brush them every day with his toothbrush. I give him his toothbrush to play with while I brush my teeth, then I pick him up and brush his. It works pretty well. If for some reason he refuses, I don't make a big deal of it and just wipe them with a cloth the next time he eats.

DD has 6. 4 on the bottom and 2 on top. I'm pretty sure another 2 on the top are making their way in right abut now too. I just brush them with one of those finger brushes at this point.

we have four whole teeth... my kiddos top teeth are coming in a little strange... he has his top left incisor and top left front tooth. we are still waiting for the top right side to come in!

We only have 2 so far. I think the top 2 are coming next....one is just about through. We still just use a wash cloth for now. I figure once the top 2 come through we will start brushing with a brush.

Only two here as well with the top working its way through.

She has two bottom teeth, and her two front teeth just poked through within the last two weeks.

Brushing them has been an outright nightmare lately. I use a washcloth.

DS has 8 right now but I think more are on their way. As for the brushing I really try to keep up but some times I forget and that makes me feel awful.

Same here! But I swear he's been teething since 4 months!

As an FYI, I took DS to the dentist this week and out of curiosity I asked on average how many teeth does a baby usually have on their first birthday. They told me on average(knowing that teeth is one of those things that varies greatly between kids) its 4-6 teeth.

Only the bottom 2 for now. I am hoping the top 2 are coming soon. She had a low grade fever last Friday and in to the weekend so I am hoping it was because of the teeth. We do brush with the finger brush every night after we finish the bedtime bottle.

DD has 4 teeth. She likes to brush her teeth while I brush mine. Then I finish up for her. I use a tooth brush.

Parker has 7 teeth and LOVES having them brushed! When he hears our electric toothbrushes from the other room, he comes as quickly as he can and points to the cabinet for his own toothbrush!
