OK, here's where all you ladies with kiddies can help me out, and PLEASE DO! So, Elliot has had teeth for a few months now - two of the cutest, itty bitty teeth on his bottom gums. My husband and I would like to keep them healthy. We've read loads of places that we should brush our baby's teeth as soon as they arrive, and we know it's important.. but how? There's differing advice as well, twice a day, once? If it's twice a day, then no problem in the morning - it's just the nighttime brush that would cause concern. We normally feed Boy a bottle last thing at night and he falls asleep. How am I going to maintain said sleepiness if I have to swish a mini-kid toothbrush in his mouth and then rinse for him? What did everyone else do? Am I making this harder than it's meant to be? Please help!
*Edited* I forgot to mention - I was going to go the health visitor this week and then realised I couldn't for whatever reason (boxes are being delivered - because we're moving! and doctor's appointment - what do you reckon a 'liver test' is meant to be?) and frankly most of the health visitors have been pretty useless in the past.
And is anyone else noticing my movie quotes? I've left the titles of where it came from off for a reason. It's bloody difficult to remember to add them, but I still think they're fun!
Samantha: It's really human of you to listen to all my bullshit.
