    She hates toothpaste fullstop so we don't even bother with that now. I did find a strawberry flavour one too but she didn't go for it.
    I'm tryuing not to push it, Just a little gentle encouragement. It's been about amonth so hopefully we get though this phase soon.

    Thanks again, I'll definately give the electric toothbrush idea a go.

    otherwise jsut put a toothbrush in the bath with her and dont even try to get her to brush, just let her do it in her own time.. goodluck!

    Lol, that's what we've been doing. Giving her her toothbrush at bathtime. She ends up brushing the sides of the bath with it

    Ashton loves to brush in the bath. I just give it to him and he plays for a while and attempts to brush... it's not the best job but it will do
    Another idea is a face cloth in the meantime
