just put a wet face washer over your finger and use it to rub bubs teeth. sometimes i do that, sometimes i let her play with her toothbrush in the bath and sometimes i try brush her teeth properly (but that is very difficult). i try to do it at least once a day but sometimes idont. the other thing is, try and avoide sugary foods/drinks and then give a drink of water after if you do.
jack had his teeth at same time as miss a until he started solids i wiped his mouth and teeth with a washer during baths, once solids started i used the small toothbrus but still wiped with washer toothbrush was to get him used to it... i did it morning and night once solids started...also gave water after food so nothing was left neare teeth as such
I do Nate's when i do mine. He got teeth at 5months too and I use a washer or a really soft toothbrush.
He's got a 'thing' for toothbrushes though and loves to chew them, so I'm perfectly happy with that (though not real happy that he can zone in on them around the house and then claims them as his own lol).
Leasha's right about getting them into the habit though. Despite the same treatment with my DD, she hated stuff in her mouth and man it was a struggle!
