Brushing teeth - 1 year old

My LO is 1 and only has 2 teeth so far so I have been brushing them once a day in the morning after first bottle and breakfast.

There's now the next 2 coming in, so I know I need to up this to twice a day. I know I should have always been doing it twice a day...

2 questions -
1 - should I be brushing before or after bottle and breakfast in the morning?
2 - my LO normally has last bottle right before bed and often falls asleep straight after/on the bottle on me. Is it ok to brush before the last bottle? Or should I be waking him up to brush them after?

I'd do the morning one when you get them up. I know the advice is to do the evening one after the bottle but if she's falling asleep straight after the bottle then I'd do it after her bath Smile
