@sweet_p: How old? I'm wondering if a sticker chart would work for a 15 month old... haha. I know I need to brush twice a day, but I can't stand to start my morning like that and we're already always rushing
-
I hope you can find something that works! I have no experience personally as LO isn't born yet, but I would do whatever works to try to keep her teeth as clean as possible. My poor little niece has a mouth full of fillings!

I let her brush for two minutes (we have a timer) and once it's out of time, I force it. Now that she's 22 months, I will tell her, she's not allowed to pick out her bed time book if she doesn't brush - she gives in.

@swurlygurl: She just turned 2. It's worth a shot with your 15 month old! I know how you feel though about mornings starting off that way. My LO cried and screamed for 20 minutes straight one morning, all because I brushed her teeth

It is so hard! She is 10 months. I hold her arms down and DH and I make her laugh (the only way she'll open her mouth!) and he goes scrubba scrubba! As fast as he can. Yeah. Then we repeat. Not a perfect system!

Sadie's not at an age where I can rationalize or really try to explain anything to her, so I force it. She did it willingly for several months, but all of a sudden about a week ago she decided she hates it. She will brush my teeth, her babies teeth, etc. etc. but she's not interested in having her teeth brushed. We used to do it in the bath, but now we do it on the changing table after the bath. I hold her cheeks and brush while she slaps and yells at me. I'd rather her be mad at me then her little teeth rot out.
