Infant toothbrush?

Question

Any recommendations for an infant toothbrush? I have seen the ones that cap on the parents finger but I worry it could be a choking hazard (I know I'd be the one using it on her, not giving it to her, but I guess I'm a bit of a paranoid FTM). Also I nurse to sleep usually (working on changing that) so something I can get in her mouth without disturbing her too much? I have read it's important to brush LO's teeth before bed so the milk doesn't sit on her teeth. 
Also-anyone else nurse to sleep without brushing every time and their kids teeth turned out fine?

The banana toothbrush works for my baby!

We use the banana tooth brush for our 5 month old.

It's also a good teether and gets her use to it 😊

Answer

I used the silicone finger type brush until my daughter’s teeth started to come in. After that, it was like brushing the teeth of a baby crocodile, so we switched to a regular baby toothbrush. The finger brush works fine, and I found if you get your finger wet first, the brush creates a vacuum seal so there’s no worry about it coming off in baby’s mouth. In fact, it was hard to remove from my finger sometimes! She is 15 months now and enjoys trying to brush her teeth herself and having them brushed, and I truly believe it’s because we started using the silicone brush at 2 months old. Also, after trying different types, I use this great training toothpaste (see photo). Baby loves this stuff!

I have one that looks like a corn cobb

Answer

I let my 8 month old chew on a kids brush. I’ll brush quickly once a day for her. I want her to get in the habit of using a brush and getting used to it.

Answer

How old? I nursed my daughter to sleep until 11 mos. I started using a toothbrush about 6-7 mos when she got a tooth. But I just bought a 2 pack of kids brushes at Walmart. I have the finger cap one and hated it. Now she’s 18 mos and I let her brush herself. Really she just chews lol. No toothpaste. And she has milk before bed then straight to bed. Her teeth are fine.

Answer

When my son was younger I just used a wet rag and scrubbed around. Now that he is a year I started using the soft bristle toddler tooth brushes. I don’t brush after every feed and his teeth look just fine for now! They are baby teeth so I’m not worried.
