Honestly, was it a rogue dentist? 😅😂
I use toothpaste without fluoride in it because I’ve researched its effects so now way would I being using it on a baby! Use a baby toothpaste as they swallow it. Such strange advice hun!
My HV came to see us this morning and gave me toothpaste for my LB and told me to swill his mouth out as he won't know to spit it
@Mee I also use fluoride free toothpaste so am not overly keen on giving baby high content fluoride 🙄 @Nikita have no idea where she got this information from, but I'm so glad i haven't listened to her!
High amounts of fluoride ?!?? For a baby?! wtf 🤦🏻♀️ Amazed people still use toothpaste with fluoride in general let alone giving it to a baby! HV are not qualified dentists 🤣
I recently went to a starting solids workshop and they also encouraged using adult toothpaste with fluoride in it but said it should be a tiny smear and not encouraged to swallow it
I don’t think that’s correct advice - adult tooth paste is too high in fluoride …but you should get a kids one with fluoride otherwise it’s pointless xx d
I’ve been advised not to use toothpaste until bubs is 18 months. 🤷🏽♀️ I’ve been recommended more natural toothpastes without the fluoride or just plain water.
Honestly, the most bizarre advice i think I've beeb given so far 😂 thank you for that, we don't get packs like that, that i know of, but I definitely won't be letting her swallow it!
