in the morning I brush DS's teeth with my non-toothpasted brush (okay not sure if that's really 'allowed' or whatever) and I make a silly noise... he thinks its hilarious.. and then i do my teeth and he watches. So for our night time brush with his brush, we do it in the bath, same silly noise and he just opens up and giggles. I sort of sing "brushing, brushing, brushing" in between silly noises. So far so good He's 14 months
I have done the same thing! My toothbrush is electric and DS loves it! He'll let me brush his teeth with mine but not with his. I do wonder if it is ok to do it though!
