Once LO can spit on cue, then switch over. LO is 27 months (I think?, can't remember) and we're still using non fluoride toothpaste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-rinse-and-spit-after-toothbrushing#post-1978944 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 14:24:54 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1978944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3. I didn't change out her toothpaste until then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-rinse-and-spit-after-toothbrushing#post-1978939 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 14:22:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 1978939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 2 and "spits" but usually after swallowing. Our dentist said because of the small amount to stick with fluoride toothpaste and she will get it sooner or later. And actually we stopped rinsing her mouth out because our dental hygienist sister in law said it's best to keep in the mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-rinse-and-spit-after-toothbrushing#post-1978746 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:25:06 +0000 Mama Bird 1978746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's two and he kind of does it when he feels like it. At the moment though, he really enjoys saying NO! when I ask him to rinse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-rinse-and-spit-after-toothbrushing#post-1978705 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:10:33 +0000 regberadaisy 1978705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was before 2. Maybe 20 months? It was shortly after we started teeth brushing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-rinse-and-spit-after-toothbrushing#post-1978702 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:09:14 +0000 yellowbird 1978702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo (27 months) still sucks all the toothpaste off and swallows it. Then she'll spit afterwards but that doesn't count! Still working on it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-rinse-and-spit-after-toothbrushing#post-1978698 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:07:37 +0000 Mamaof2 1978698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 for DS and 3.5 for DD</p> <p>DD will immediately suck off all the toothpaste though as soon as it hits her mouth so its pointless that she even knows how to spit! :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-rinse-and-spit-after-toothbrushing#post-1978673 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 12:59:18 +0000 abmamma 1978673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been wondering when/how to start this with DD (who is 2). So far we haven't been able to figure out how to teach her to spit! As a result, we are sticking to non-flouride toothpaste for a bit longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-rinse-and-spit-after-toothbrushing#post-1978665 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 12:55:55 +0000 autumnlove 1978665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 1 just started and she is almost 3. I wiped her teeth down with a wet cloth before she started spitting. </p>
