Do you brush your babies teeth? Do you go on how many teeth they have to the amount of times you brush? Hunter has six teeth and is only 14 months so i have to brush them in the bath or we end up in a HUGE mess lol..

Sometimes i brush twice but i usually only brush his once.. Should i be doing it twice... What did you do or are doing with your bubs?

it's recommended to brush teeth twice a day, but we only manage to do it once most of the time, that goes for DH and I too:o

Morning and night usually. Its just part of our routine now...get dressed in the morning and brush teeth. Get into PJ's at night and brush teeth.

Twice a day here. But when they were younger, say up to about 15-18 months or so I would do it once a day, mostly just them having a chew really, but would wipe over their teeth with a flannel after each meal......quick, easy and no fuss, much easier than getting atoothbrush in htere for a proper clean at that age.

Twice a day. But sometimes we're rushing out the door in the mornings and forget to brush her teeth, so I quickly wipe her teeth with a wet facewasher.

At least once, sometimes twice (DS is 16 months old). I started as soon as his first tooth appeared, and just use a scrape of herbal toothpaste (the Woolworths brand).
