Tooth-brushing battles
Hi ladies
DD is 15 months old and brushing her teeth has become a real battle. She was ok with it when we first started but as time has gone on it's become more of a struggle. She just keeps saying "No", wriggles and squirms around, pushes the brush away, wont open her mouth, grabs the brush off me and throws it....
Yesterday i tried sitting her on the sink infront of the mirror so she could see what we were doing and that seemed to help a little (i think mostly as she distracted herself by grabbing all my makeup off the shelf and drawing on herself with my eyeliner!!) I try and encourage her to do some of it herself so she feels more in control, but it depends on her mood as to whether or not she'll play ball. I know when she has teeth coming through, her mouth will be more sensitive so i try to be really gentle.
Im really worried she's going to end up with grotty teeth. She doesn't drink sugary, fizzy drinks or juices, but she does still have formula as she's lactose intolerant, and she likes drinking Redbush tea occasionally which she has without milk, which can be a blessing as some days she just wont drink water but will drink this. On the days she just wont let me near her with a brush, I've tried using a thin flannel on my finger to rub over her teeth, but again, this just ended up as a fight.
Really dont want her to end up with stained teeth or tooth decay. Does anyone have any hints or tips on how I can make this easier all round??
TIA! xx
