First Tooth!

2ktBride2ktBride
in May 2011 Moms
It's official!  My LO's first tooth is popping out of his bottom gums.  I, of course, think it's the most adorable thing but I admit I'm partial.  Has anyone else's LOs gotten teeth?  If so, are you doing anything to take care of them?  I feel kind of silly brushing one tooth and am not sure if there's anything else I need to be doing.

    you should start brushing ASAP. I have been brushing forever. Use either a wet facecloth, some guaze or a toothbrush (without toothpaste). W had the corner of one pop up, then it went back in. Its been misery in my house.

    No teeth yet, but lots of drool and fussiness. 

    PIP please? :)

    This is what we thought happened with V.  One of the ladies on the board said that it wasn't actually a tooth in this case, but a calcium deposit (which would look and feel like the corner of a tooth).  That tooth is definitely visible under the gums, but I don't think the gums swallowed the tooth after it made its appearance.

    Our LO had his bottom 2 pop up at the same time 2 weeks ago.  I bought those little finger tip 'tooth brushes'.  They make it easy to rub his gums and little teeth and are soft when he bites down.  I think his top ones are going to be in soon too!  And I bought some 3-24 month tooth paste and have been using that.
