So I only attempt every couple of days. :shocked: I give her the electric toothbrush and let her suck on it, but I don't think that's doing much. And she's 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-teeth#post-2622550 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 06:59:45 +0000 Adira 2622550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do any teeth brushing until 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-teeth#post-2622545 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 06:35:28 +0000 catomd00 2622545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We Brush when they get teeth and do fluoride toothpaste after 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-teeth#post-2622528 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 02:45:45 +0000 LindsayLou 2622528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started brushing when she got her first two teeth at 6 months. We started with a baby toothbrush and water to get her used to it and made it part of her bedtime routine. When she got her next 6 teeth, between 10 and 12 months, we started using safe to swallow toothpaste. The toothpaste helps her tolerate it a bit better. She's far more interested in playing with the toothbrush than actual brushing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-teeth#post-2622527 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 02:07:21 +0000 Pumuckl 2622527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brush with a toothbrush and toothpaste as soon as the teeth come out. That was 4.5 and 6m for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-teeth#post-2622451 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 21:14:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2622451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would brush them...because I don't want to be bitten. Haha. We were using a tooth brush with just water but she will let me brush a little longer with the flavor of a safe to swallow toothpaste </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-teeth#post-2622428 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:47:58 +0000 jhd 2622428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the Nuk finger toothbrush when he got his first tooth.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-teeth#post-2622408 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:38:02 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2622408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brush when the teeth come out. Not for terribly long, but for a few seconds a couple times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-brushing-teeth#post-2622404 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:32:52 +0000 travellingbee 2622404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 8 month old has 4 teeth. At this point would you just wipe teeth with a washcloth or brush them or...? Neither? </p>
