I started with those silicon finger tooth brushes with my kids were babies.

Ooh I’m going through this right now! Modelling brushing your own teeth helps, as does giving then the brush to fo it themselves

Try humming instead of singing. It supresses the gag reflex.

Make a list of things to do on the fridge, and add the tooth brushing. Let Bubs stick a star on when he does it! Then a high five… No money, or wanky crap…

I’d suggest making it sound like fun and brushing your teeth as well so that your child copies.

Make it a game, who can brush he longest, flow the leader (so they have to copy you) or you brush mine and I will do yours. Worked in our house.

I’m going through this now! What worked? I use a little toothpaste on my finger and let her hold the brush, if I’m lucky she’ll chew it. I then use a soft cloth to rub on her teeth but I think she’ll take my finger off one day – their teeth are so sharp!

maybe try letting him do it first.

The Macleans Nurdle app is a great little tune. My 2 year old likes me to tickle her teeth and sing a little crazy song I make up as I do it to keep her smiling to get it done

We used Aussie Natural Toothpaste started with a baby toothbrush that bub chewed on first. After a while
they just copied the actions. Bit hard for them to spit it out. All natural toothpaste is best as it they swallow it won’t hurt them,

sometimes you need bribing

What did you end up finding that worked?

I think cleaning them with a wet flannel while they are in the bath is OK at that age.

i hope its went well

Hope you found the answer you were looking for.

What did you end up doing?

I let my girls do them first then help later.

How are you going now – any luck?

Let him have a go at holding the toothbrush as well and take it in turns.

Let him chew on a flannel in the bath … That’s what I was told.
