baby toothbrush

DS (6 months) is currently cutting his first teeth so I need to buy a toothbrush. I remember seeing a soft one I could put on the end of my finger, but I can't remember where. I have tried the most likely shops/sites but no joy.
Does anybody know where to get one?

We found it total rubbish, dd just bit and it came off in her mouth every time, how she never swallowed it I don't know, we found a normal baby toothbrush the easiest option, but at first you can just rub a little paste onto their first teeth once emerged...

Perhaps that's why I can't find one!
Of course, a finger alone would calm my fear about stabbing him with normal toothbrush .
I can try that when it gets big enough.

We got one of those plastic ones from PHP but can't find them on their site.

\linksecure.bickiepegs.co.uk/acatalog/Bickiepegs_on_line_Clean_Teeth___5.html\Bickiepegs} do them though.

Ooops, sorry.

Bickiepegs do them though.

I think ours was a tiny Oral B one from Boots. Never had any stabbing problems

Current toothbrush is Fimbles florrie one from woolies (whoops!)

We had one for the cat with chicken flavour toothpaste....not much help here though, I know!!!

Thanks Hulababy. I've ordered one. And I'll let Piffleoffagus know if I think it's rubbish too!!

Perfectly Happy People do the finger one - which we found very useful as a starter. They also do an oval toothbrush, which we use once the baby has outgrown the finger one, until we are sure we can brush the baby's teeth without stabbing or choking him or her.
