Cleaning teeth before bed and then feeding to sleep?

Dd has finally got her first teeth coming through at age nearly 1. I have started to give them a little brush with toothpaste after her bath but then I still give her a breastfeed to sleep . . Will this damage her teeth?

No :). When a baby is bf the milk goes directly to the back of the mouth and does not pool around the teeth. Bf at night is not believed to harm the teeth.

Totally agree with indith, it isn't a problem Smile
