I use a finger brush to brush LO's 7 teeth + gums.
Wondering when I should use a real toothbrush.

@Andrea: Oh really? :T Ok should probably get a baby toothbrush. DH took my car today!!! So I'm trapped at home

@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.

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.

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.

@Lozza: Haha okay thanks! 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.
