We live in a non-English speaking country for work so getting help and advice here is quite difficult so I’m hoping somebody can tell me what I should be doing with my 9mo baby’s teeth. (I’m a first timer).
He currently has 4 teeth but they haven’t come through all the way yet. I bought a little chewy thing with bristles to clean them but when do I need to start actually brushing them?
I am also a little worried about tooth decay (which actually hadn’t even occurred to me until I saw someone else’s post just now). At the moment he has a total of up to 800ml of formula per 24-hour period (he’s very tall and big so seems to need a lot) and three ‘meals’ which mostly end up on the floor. He usually wakes up twice a night for formula. When should I stop giving him bottles at night? I’m worried about letting him go hungry but I don’t want to ruin his teeth.
