Brushing teeth - going badly š
How are we all getting on with the teeth brushing? Sometimes my LG lets me put the toothbrush in no problem but majority of time itās near impossible to get the brush in. How are you doing it? I do it in the bath in the evenings and can sometimes trick her but itās so hard to get it done!! I donāt want her to have any issues with her teeth so need some tips š

Itās so hard isnāt it!! I tend to give my LG most the control so Iāll brush mine and the same time Iāll give her her toothbrush with a tiny bit of toothpaste on it and I let her put it in her mouth to copy me she does like to play with it more but when Iām finished doing mine I find she more inclined to let me do hers after aswell, do it gently and dont try to force it or she will just resent it and then youāll open a whole new can of worms try to make it as fun as possible maybe sing a little song while you do it aswell Iāve done that but my little girls only got 2 teeth and they arenāt even all the way up yet only the tips of the teeth are up xxx
@Annem love this Iām going to try it
Have you tried brushing your teeth at the same time. Maybe reduce the pressure on her a little. Hand her a toothbrush in her hands, and you go ahead and brush your own teeth so she can watch you. Try that for a few days in a row and she may be more likely to let you help her do hers. They always want to copy what adults do eventually :)
