  Ooo yes, no teeth yet (arghh!) but I've been wondering how to fit this in to the bedtime routine.

  I always used to do it after milk no matter how tired Charlotte was. Sometimes it was easier if she was tired as she wouldn't fight me off so much!
  
  Now, at 14 months she has 8 teeth and her 4 molars are cutting. I brush her teeth in the morning after her brekkie when I'm washing & dressing her.
  
  At night, we now give her her milk before her bath as it's easier for us that way. We can them brush her teeth whilst she's in the bath. And also she can't crawl away then!

  I do it before his last bottle...he's way too sleepy and just wants to go to bed afterwards. But then I worry that the toothpaste will make his milk taste weird (y'know, like food always tastes odd after brushing your teeth). So I don't know when to do it!!! He is 10 months and I'm ALWAYS forgetting to do it! I need a good way to fit it in! xxx

  i do it in morning when i do mine after brekkie and just before she gets in bag for bed. daisy has supper rather than milk so i do it after that think id prob do it before milk though if she drank milk. daisy loves having her teeth done and shes just cut her 12th tooth x
