And if so, how do you do it?

    No, but I think I may start as he appears to be teething.

    They sell these little finger jellies (not a jelly, think about the jelly shoes... like that) and it has bumps on it to stimulate.  I think you're just supposed to put that on and rub it on their gums with water.

    It is recommended that you don't until they have teeth, according to my pedi. The bacteria that is forming in their mouth is desired at this age.

    My sister, a dental hygenist, said to wipe them with a wet washcloth.  LO has no problem with it since we do it every night in the bath, but if you wait til they have teeth you might have a fight on your hands!

    This is what my pedi said to do so that they get used to having something in their mouth in that way.
