Toothpaste for baby?

What toothpaste do you use for your baby?

The NHS guidance says to use one with fluoride, but other sources say to avoid fluoride and there seems to be so many fluoride-free kids' toothpaste out there...

Here's a link to the governments recommendations. As a dental professional, I would always advise fluoride but make sure to use a really small amount for babies and young children.

We use an organic one from the green people website.

I have white lines on my teeth from ingesting too much fluoride as a child, most probably the water. So I’m wary!
