I use a finger toothbrush as I wasn’t having much luck with a normal toothbrush! Just until he gets used to it then we’ll change back, but so far it’s made it so much easier!

I give my LB the tooth brush when getting him ready for the day and bedtime. He is at the stage of everything in his mouth and so when he’s doing it, I’ll take it from him and quickly brush his two before giving it him back. He thinks it’s a game and just wants to chew it anyway x

My LG was the same, and I got the matchstick monkey toothbrush & now she likes having her teeth brushed & I give her the toothbrush and she likes to play with it aswell x

I sit above his head (like the dentist would) so he naturally looks up and his mouth opens, then I sing the abc song starting with ‘say Ahhhhh’, he lets me do it automatically now. I also showed him me brushing mine, he thinks it’s funny now 😂
