Teeth brushing - might be a stupid question!
in Baby
Like I said, it might be a stupid question, but when do you start brushing your baby's teeth? The obvious answer is as soon as they come through, but I'm really asking if it's necessary to brush/rub toothpaste around the gums once they're on solids? Is it only once there are teeth for the food to collect in that bacteria develop?
I'm on my second baby but my first had teeth before he was weaned so this is new to me - it doesn't seem right giving dd three proper meals a day, and not 'brushing her teeth' before bed (eve though she doesn't have any!)

Sorry not much help as ds1 had teeth before weaning but I plan to brush ds2 when he has teeth or when he starts weaning what ever comes first.
