I wonder if I should stop then! I always follow up with a quick wipe with a little cloth...maybe I can drop that part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-brush-your-los-teeth#post-578811 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:55:49 +0000 heffalump 578811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing "brush brush brush your teeth each and every day, up and down, all around, brush decay away." Twice. Its to the tune of row row row your boat. I hope that's long enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-brush-your-los-teeth#post-578810 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:55:45 +0000 Lozza 578810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: 22 months, and this has been our system for probably about 4 months. (Before then he wasn't really up to following my lead/instructions) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-brush-your-los-teeth#post-578800 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:53:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 578800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I brush her front teeth, her bottom teeth, and then her four molars. I get in about 10 seconds on each "set" and then I let her have a turn. Right now I want to make it fun and enjoyable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-brush-your-los-teeth#post-578750 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:40:33 +0000 autumnlove 578750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lozza: How old is your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-brush-your-los-teeth#post-578728 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:31:54 +0000 Lozza 578728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let LO brush his own teeth- he uses an electric toothbrush, so as long as he moves it around some I figure he's ok. I try to brush my teeth at the same time and get him to do it with me: "Ok, now we're going to brush the top/back/front" etc. Usually he'll have it in his mouth for a while but only a fraction of that time will be useful brushing, but again, I don't worry too much (I figure the electric toothbrush does a lot of the work anyhow as long as it's touching teeth). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-it-take-you-to-brush-your-los-teeth#post-578696 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:24:17 +0000 autumnlove 578696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea if I am brushing too long or not enough! My LO is almost 14 months old. </p>
