toothpaste

[~Minny~]

We started using toothpaste with DD when she was 12 months old by then she had the majority of her teeth so felt we needed to clean them with something a bit more than water. She still at 2.5 only has a small smidge of toothpaste on the brush.

Colgate make a 1-6years toothpaste.

We've started with DD too. Our dentist said to use a small amount the size of her fingernail. HTH

You should wait til they can spit it out at least.

It doesn't matter if you use a non fluoride toothpaste and you only use such a small amount

Actually, baby toothpaste does have fluoride, it's just a smaller amount. You don't need to use it, and shouldn't, until the child can spit well.....so about 3.

couldn't agree more, the one we use doesn't have fluoride in it either

I've got a macleans one that has "low fluoride". Might try her tonight and see how she goes. Thanks everyone for your help.
