At a year I think. More for the routine of it and to get her used to it. We get a quick brush in, then she "does" it herself but mostly sucks the water off. She does take the water with her hand tho and rinse her mouth.

I brushed the gums at about 5 months when my kids were teething. I used the nuk teether and toothbrush with water. I started with baby toothpaste when the first tooth came in at 8 months.

Somewhere around the 1 year mark with a real toothbrush and training toothpaste. She is 2 now and we still use the training toothpaste because I'm afraid she will swallow the other kinds

I wiped down their gums often when they were little. Once a tooth popped through I used the finger brush with fluoride free toothpaste. At about a year I switched to a baby toothbrush. At almost 2 we use regular toothpaste but she's good about spitting

We started brushing DDs teeth once her first tooth came in (around 4 months). At that time we were using a finger brush. At around 10 months we switched to a toddler brush. We have always used Nuk toothpaste. It isn't as sweet as some of the other brands.

I have been brushing since he got his first tooth at about four months. I use the orajel elmo toothpaste and finger brush. He loves it, it's like a gum massage for him.

We started when LO had about 2 teeth (@ 6 months). LO LOVED it. I think it helps with the teething too. Feels nice on the gums. We got the Sesame Toothpaste. Now every night when we get ready for bed LO will cry until I give the toothbrush. SO CUTE!

When they got teeth. Chat Icon I just used infant toothpaste, I started with the little bristle brush that goes on your fingertip and then I moved them to a soft infant toothbrush.
