Brushing babies teeth?

Question

My LO has two lower teeth and has started solids. How do you care for your babies teeth at this stage? Should I brush them daily with a baby tooth brush? Just give her water to rinse her gums? I'm so confused. What do you all do?

Answer

My little guy has 4 teeth and my pediatrician said until he has 6 to just wipe them with a warm wash cloth.

Answer

I use baby toothbrush and baby toothpaste. My baby loves it because he's teething and can chew down on the toothbrush. It's like a silicone thumb glove lol

Answer

We brush 2x with a little baby toothpaste and this rubber toothbrush by nuk that is three sided and doesn't have bristles. She mostly hates it but she has 6 teeth so I feel like we have to get her used to it asap.

Answer

We've been 'brushing' our little one's gums since she was about 5 months old, to get her use to the sensation. You don't have to use toothpaste right now (although they are baby friendly ones). If you're just starting, simply wiping and brushing the gums/teeth in the morning and before bed is a great introduction for them 😊
