Bedtime bottle and teeth brushing - WDYD?

We are in the process of switching DD from FF to whole milk.  She still gets a bottle before bed at nighttime.  We are trying to start a tooth brushing routine since she has 10.  What did/do you do?  When did you drop the nighttime bottle?  TIA!

    As part of the bedtime routine we brushed her teeth after her bath just before she finishes the last few sips of her last sippy cup....not sure if it's the best way but we made sure to do it each night. We are almost done phasing out the night time sippy (at 17 mos) so soon it will be the last thing before bed. Her teeth seem to be fine. Hope this helps!!

    This is a tough one for me too.  DD still nurses right before bed.  I am thinking about just using a wet wash cloth right after she nurses.  I just keep forgetting.

    I still BF before bed, but we brush her teeth every night.  Here is our routine:

    Get DD in pj's. DH and I each read her a book on the couch. I BF while DH fills humidifier and gets toothbrush ready.  We brush her teeth, then snuggle and say goodnight.  DH brings her into her bedroom and puts her down.  It has worked really well and she actually anticipates the toothbrushing now.  She loves it!
