Bangun pagi... gosok gigi...

Not sure if I spell it right in Malay, well... trying to train Skyler with teeth brushing habit. Skyler pediatrician advised to have his teeth "brush" even before his has teeth?? I started at about 4 months old when he started taking solid. I use a soft rubber bristle and brushed with drinking water. Just switched him to a baby tooth brush last week, first time try out... OMG, didn't know it's so much different than the rubber one, I guess I just brushed it too hard, Skyler gum and lip were bleeding, felt bad till now. Ladies, don't do what I did! Now I learned to brush it much slower with up-down motion instead of left-right motion.I will normally brush his teeth first, then pass the tooth brush to him to let him brush it himself, he actually learn how to brush after a few times times of practice. Of course he can't rinse and spit out yet. Learning still in progress...I guess teeth brushing isn't really that hard after all.

So, when did you start brushing your baby teeth? Below are type of tooth brush I use:





Skyler, brush teeth also can sleep?
