DS has only had teeth for about 3ish weeks now and used to be OK with toothbrushing (probably the novelty) but now it's quite a battle. I have to hold him and clamp his arms while I try to get the brush in but he purses his lips and wails (which is when I quickly get the toothbrush in!). I try to sing songs about brushing teeth and I give him the brush to chew too but he doesn't always chew where his teeth are. I also let him see me brush my teeth and try to get him to 'brush' my teeth. He still seems to hate it though!
Any tips for a very squirmy baby?
