My little guy fights me while I try to brush his teeth (he has 6).

I started taking baby with me into the bathroom. Giving her the tooth brush then brushing my teeth in front of her. It takes a little longer but now she does it with me and laughs and loves it! Worth giving a try.

Mine just sucks or bites the toothbrush 🤷♀️ hoping that it becomes easier as long as we stick to the routine

Okay. So, I know every babies different. BUT my husband was a dental assistant for a bit, dad was a dentist. I only bought what they recommended. And we do “dentist position” in daddies lap, while I stand infront of him showing him, “open your mouth wide like a big boy, ooooooo” and open my mouth for him to mimic. And we have the 3 sided drbrowns tooth brush. He will bite here and there but it helps so much to brush the front back of the teeth and gums in a couple swipes. He has 6 as well with 4 popped

Finding it so hard at the moment! I think tooth 6 coming out is making it painful and she is fighting it so much 😭
