anyone found a toothbrush that works?

[charliemouse2]

My 7 month old has one tooth with another coming and I'm trying to get him used to tooth-cleaning. So far have a standard baby toothbrush from Boots, but it's a right palaver getting it into his mouth, and then I can't tell if I'm actually brushing his teeth or his tongue! Needless to say he hates it!

Have tried putting toothpaste on a clean muslin and using my finger, which sort of works but I don't think it would be as effective as a toothbrush.

Anyone used the \link{https://secure.bickiepegs.co.uk/acatalog/index.html\Bickiepegs finger toothbrush}? Is it any good?

bumpety bump! :)

ive been using toothbrush for DD since she was 8 mths old... i brush her teeth for 2 secs at a time till ive brush her whole mouth.. if i brush it abit too long she intend to try and bite the toothbrush

if you want to... is to get one each so he feels the part of it!......i let DD hold hers once ive finished brushing her teeth and she try nad do it herself (she is 18mths old now)

Thanks for help so far. Was wondering if he might hate the taste of toothpaste. Am using the Macleans milk teeth one which is minty. I see Bickiepegs do an apple and banana flavour (sounds disgusting to me!). Did anyone find they preferred fruity toothpaste to minty stuff?

charlie - you can only find it our for yourself which your baby prefers... they are hard work !!

correction

our - out!
