He will be 2 next week. Before learning how to rinse and spit, he would drink the water. That progressed to letting the water dribble out of his mouth and onto his bib. We still brush his teeth for him and let him brush after we're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-learn-to-spit-and-rinse-when-brushing-hisher-teeth#post-709061 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:01:35 +0000 banana 709061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D started doing it really well a few months ago. But we practiced for 6 months. He would sometimes swallow the toothpaste (he said it's yummy) or he would swallow the water instead of spitting it out. Now he brushes, rinses and spits really well so we moved to fluoride toothpaste. The ONLY way he learned was watching us. We brushed our teeth with him every morning and night. It works!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-toddler-learn-to-spit-and-rinse-when-brushing-hisher-teeth#post-709027 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:54:54 +0000 chopsuey 709027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wondering! Mine obviously doesn't do this yet..<br /> I should probably start brushing my teeth with her? </p>
