Those infant toothbrush is cheap though so it doesn't hurt to get her one to just bite on ;)</p> <p>@lemondrop: We are lucky that no matter how screwy the bedtime routine is, LO still falls asleep pretty easily. I just personally don't like to upset him before bedtime though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-brush-your-babys-teeth-after-the-bedtime-bottle#post-418197 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 22:37:22 +0000 lemondrop 418197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just do it at some point in the day, right now a solid bedtime is more important to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-brush-your-babys-teeth-after-the-bedtime-bottle#post-418170 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 22:03:19 +0000 prettylizy 418170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She only has 1 tooth right now so I haven't thought much about it. I guess we need to invest in a toothbrush? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-brush-your-babys-teeth-after-the-bedtime-bottle#post-418168 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 22:01:49 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 418168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: How does your LO like it? DD holds onto and chews all over the bristles, drooling like crazy! She'll take it all over the house with her, too. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-brush-your-babys-teeth-after-the-bedtime-bottle#post-418164 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 21:57:00 +0000 irene 418164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I have so many baby toothbrushes I can give you some of mine. We even have a dentist friend and she gave me baby training brushes, in which LO hates all of them (while my dentist friend was able to floss her baby's teeth. Can you imagine?!). Sigh. </p> <p>@Sweet T: Thanks for the tip!</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I have that banana toothbrush too! That's good that your baby is building up the tolerance. Mine just hates us doing anything around his mouth, or on his face really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-brush-your-babys-teeth-after-the-bedtime-bottle#post-418159 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 21:50:41 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 418159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We let her chew on this and she ends up cleaning her teeth herself (or well enough for now). I'll move it around across her teeth as she's holding it, but I stop if she gets upset. We're gradually getting to a tolerance of her letting us mess with her mouth. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0010LR812" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0010LR812</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-brush-your-babys-teeth-after-the-bedtime-bottle#post-418149 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 21:43:28 +0000 Sweet T 418149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brush before bed. He has a sippy cup of milk with dinner and then we do bath time and his bed time routine. You could try giving your LO a toothbrush to hold himself. It helped keep DS distracted when we started brushing his teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-brush-your-babys-teeth-after-the-bedtime-bottle#post-418134 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 21:37:40 +0000 autumnlove 418134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a quick wipe with a baby washcloth. I need to buy a toothbrush! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-brush-your-babys-teeth-after-the-bedtime-bottle#post-418129 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 21:36:31 +0000 irene 418129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of mine told me I should brush / clean my LO's teeth (he's 10 months) after the bedtime bottle. However he hates his teeth being brushed and would cry hysterically every time I do it. Our bedtime routine now has become quite unenjoyable because of that.</p> <p>How about you all? </p>
