Brushing teeth

Does anyone else's baby despise brushing their teeth.

She was fine at first, but now she's running away! Locking her lips together or just throwing a fit.

I've started pinning her down for it atleast once per day. Please tell me yours is the same or similar!!

My other half just tells her ahhh! And she opens and let's it happen!!!!

i’ve seen someone say it could be down to teething and being scared it’s going to hurt, my baby’s never liked it so tbh i don’t have any tips 😅 but she’ll open her mouth when i put the toothpaste on or pretend to🤣

Yeh my baby is the exact same. He refuses to get his teeth brushed. I even let him brush mine so he knows it’s nothing to be scared of. But he still. Shuts his mouth and will not open it for me to brush his teeth

My little girl let us brush her teeth briefly at the start. We’ve tried it all, games, songs, in the bath, mirror, brushing each others teeth, electric toothbrush, baby toothpaste. We now just pin her down And pinch her nose if she refuses to open her mouth. We feel like monsters and can’t wait for the bargaining phase but both dad and I have loads of dental issues and I refuse to let her have the same.
