My little boy is 11 months old and got his first teeth aged 8 months. He currently has 4.
I’ve not been brushing his teeth properly - instead I’ve just been giving him a baby toothbrush (looks like a mini adult one) with a smear of toothpaste on to chew twice a day. The second brush is done before his final milk which I know is another problem.
It’s not good enough I know and I feel terrible that I’ve not been helping or teaching him to brush his teeth properly.
I’m honestly completely exhausted trying to hold down a job, keep on top of the housework and all the cooking and cleaning.
Most days he just plays with the same old toys - I don’t do messy play because I have no energy to sort it. I know I should be booking baby classes from April to give him something new to enjoy but I haven’t got round to it and have probably missed out. I wanted to give him the most magical wonderful childhood filled with excitement and fun and I’ve done the opposite. I’m a terrible mother.
