Oooh Miss Gabby you are following in Jacob's footsteps aren't you! LOL
I tell you one thing that we have learnt - the bigger the fuss you make about it, the worse the situation becomes.....so try not to let it show that it's bothering you (far easier said than done I know!). I'm a worry wart so I always panic about his teeth not getting clean, but I figure if he's going to scream about it, it's only going to create 'bad' memories about it IYKWIM? So sometimes it's better just to let it go for a day or two and then come back to it.
We are still having trying times with teeth, but I can say that when he was cutting teeth was definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, the very worst time and he didn't want that brush near him right or wrong! He has all his teeth now, so it's been better, but there are still difficult times........
As you probably saw in the other thread, using his little baby doll did help (although it wasn't long after that he decided he didn't want to brush again). So perhaps it's worth a try?
I just read the other day that it's not necessary to use toothpaste until they're over 2. Maybe if you took that away and let her play with her toothbrush. I wouldn't worry too much, but I know I went through a stage of holding Tilly down while I did her teeth!!! Good luck xo
