Toothpaste for babys

you should only brush teeth with a soft tooth brush until they understand how to spit it out about 18mths

my girls have used toothbrushes for as long as I can remember but I was told not to use toothpaste until around 2 years due to them spitting it out. They practised for ages with just water and then finally graduated to toothpaste (colgate my first toothpaste I think its called). They totally love it!!

oh cool thanx xdisturbedmindx they sound really cool

hi jmstock i think you can get them at most pharmicies or baby specialty shops

I spoke to my dentist about this only a week ago, and they said definitely not before 12 months for toothpaste.
My DD started teething at 8 weeks, and I gave her a baby first stage toothbrush to use as a teether, as it was all that fit in her mouth, and she couldn`t have any chemicals til 4 months. She loves it and now that she has two teeth, she rubs away at them and chomps on the toothbrush a lot during the day, and this is also teaching her to get used to using a toothbrush later on. They also advise that you let them drink water after bottles or meals to help wash away stuff from their teeth and I use the toothbrush to rub on them to clean.

do you know where i can find the finger tooth brushes? id love to try them

i dont have kids but i know that you can buy the baby tooth brushes with the super soft bristles,( i bought a little hotwheels one for my cousin) and milk teeth is good because it wont burn there mouths, 🙂 hope i was helful, o and you could also try them soft finger tooth brushes its a little brush u slip over ur finger like a glove

when my daughter was younger i just used water on the toothbrush but now she is older i use milk teeth as it has a low flouride amount and my docter suggested it to me but u only need a pea size or smaller amount and try to teach them to spit is hard im in that pickle myself as my daughter will just pretend to spit and rinsing hahaha she just drinks it we will pesist

I just started brushing my daughters teeth a couple months ago and she likes brushing them herself with this cute little pink brush. She looks so cute and I can`t get the toothbrush back off her.

yes Im having the same problem, how do you get them to spit it out?
