We brush with a finger brush still--she has 8 teeth. I'll go pick up a real brush this weekend. I'm on house arrest since DH took my car today. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-real-toothbrush-on-your-lo#post-129439 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:39:44 +0000 Lozza 129439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DS is about a week younger than your DD, and we've been using a regular baby toothbrush for a couple months, but we use it sporadically (bad parents, oh well). I don't let DS hold it himself (he'll just chew on it), but he knows what it's for and opens his mouth when I break it out. I also tend to brush his teeth when I'm doing mine, so I think that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-real-toothbrush-on-your-lo#post-129437 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:39:08 +0000 heffalump 129437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor said to start when lo starts biting. But she already does bite my finger when brushing and I don't mind it, so ill wait a little while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-real-toothbrush-on-your-lo#post-129100 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 07:11:53 +0000 Andrea 129100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: i doubt it really matters. as long as their teeth get cleaned!! it was way past 1 year when my LO could use the regular toothbrush herself anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-a-real-toothbrush-on-your-lo#post-129094 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 07:03:01 +0000 chopsuey 129094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Oh really? :T Ok should probably get a baby toothbrush.
