I can't imagine just using plain floss and my fingers. DS actually loves to do it on his own. I don't do it enough but a lot of his teeth have gaps so it's not like he's got food stuck in them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094953 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:39:26 +0000 MarieJ 2094953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to floss her teeth every night. It mostly gets done every other night for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094936 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:34:05 +0000 Jess1483 2094936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started about 18 months. Luckily, LO was totally obsessed with floss for awhile (to the point where it was the best bribe we had), so he wanted to floss constantly. Now we floss 2-3 times a week. When I remember. He no longer loves it, but he's cool with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094932 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:32:22 +0000 edelweiss 2094932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our dentist gave us some toddler "handles" for floss, but after a couple of half-hearted attempts when LO was about 18 months old, i put them away and have completely forgotten about them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094924 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:30:54 +0000 mediagirl 2094924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what @Mrs. Sunshine said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094889 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:21:00 +0000 coopsmama 2094889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh yeah...nope!! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094879 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:16:59 +0000 Tanjowen 2094879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone on HB mentioned flossing, so I thought I'd give it a shot with my 14 month old. I bought those little floss pickers for tots...to my huge surprise, he willingly lets me floss his teeth! I'm sure it's a stage and in another month he will likely pitch a fit about it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094770 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:40:17 +0000 Alivoo01 2094770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Ditto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094751 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:32:59 +0000 Beehive 2094751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only time I've flossed his teeth has been when a bit of food was stuck and wouldn't come out with brushing. He was surprisingly cooperative, I think because I gave him a piece of floss to play with while I did it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094726 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:24:04 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2094726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahahahahaahahha!

LO 1 doesn't fight it anymore but it is a struggle with LO 2. I usually do it after her bath when she is wrapped up in a towel and on her changing pad to minimize her flailing. We use animal floss sticks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094708 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:19:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 2094708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dentist hasn't said anything about flossing, it's a good day if I can get her to brush her teeth "good" twice a day. She hate it, it's a struggle and I can't imagine trying to floss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094707 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:19:29 +0000 Smurfette 2094707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She barely lets us brush her teeth, so yeah.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094678 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:12:32 +0000 Adira 2094678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhh... we're supposed to be flossing his teeth?? That has not happened.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-floss-your-los-teeth-2#post-2094673 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 13:10:36 +0000 Bao 2094673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you are supposed to and I do not and then but it's hard enough to get in a good brushing let alone a good brushing and flossing. How often do you floss your LO's teeth? Any tips on getting it done right but quick? My LO is so squirmy! </p>
