Are you guys brushing your baby's teeth?

If your LO has teeth, have you started brushing them? How do you do it? (without LO just making a chew toy of the brush) Any one not doing this?

I'm not yet, though I guess now that lo is eating solids I should. When they are little, just a soft baby toothbrush with water is good.

Edit for auto correct

I am not but I plan to soon just to get her used it it. She does not have any teeth and does not eat solids yet.

I give her the tooth brush to "brush/play" with everyday.

I took E to the dentist when she got her first tooth and he said it's all about getting them used to the brush in their mouth rather than brushing per se.

Errrmmm...mom fail. Hadn't even thought about it, but I will now!

Yeah, Madison has a lot of teeth so I brush her sometimes with the finger brush or her soft baby brush with baby toothpaste or with just water. I need to make an appointment with a dentist

I need to start.

I brush his with a baby toothbrush, no toothpaste, and then let him chew on it. He loves it!

Finger toothbrush thing (it slips on the tip of my finger). Daily in his bath. No toothpaste, just warm water per pedi.

Our ped said right now, wiping her gums/teeth with a soft cloth a few times a day is fine.

Me pedi said this too. I prob should start doing it. lol

DD still doesn't have any teeth!
So....no. Though, I hear that I should be wiping her gums down.

Hi @LaineyPaney where have you been?

schawla27 · February 2014

Yes, I am. I brought one of those finger tooth brushes and make it a routine where I brush at the end of his meals with water so I don't forget. Now that his top two teeth came in, all he does is bite on it though!
