Toothbrush

Have you started brushing LO's teeth?  DD has just gotten some teeth and I have been wiping them off with a wet wash cloth but I'm thinking I should get her a tooth brush.  I have no idea what to buy though.  Any suggestions?

    I bought DD a toddler toothbrush from the grocery. I let her "brush" her teeth when I brush and floss mine. Her toothbrush is also her favorite teether

    I bought DS a rubber toothbrush. Just to let him chew on and get use to it. Haven't used toothpaste. Plus his vitamin has floride in it.

    We've been brushing dd's teeth for a while now, but she got teeth a bit early. We just picked up a toddler toothbrush from walmart and she loves "brushing" her teeth. Every now and again she lets me get in there and actually brush them lol

    We also have a rubbery one and let him chew on it. I try to brush it around on his teeth and gums a little but he only tolerates that for about 10 seconds

    Same for me and my DS.  The pediatrician just told me today at the 9 month check up to start brushing his teeth.  I have a couple rubber ones that came in my J&J set.  He loves chewing on it and will let me get in there for just a few seconds.  I figure chewing on it helps too.  The ped also told me I could used a wet washcloth.

    I have the finger one.  She loves getting her teeth brushed. I just use it with water right now usually during bath time.

    Do any of you use toothpaste or just water when brushing your LO's teeth?

    We don't have enough teeth to be brushing yet, we just use a washcloth for now. But our pedi said no toothpaste. She said they make some baby toothpastes but water is good enough for now.
