Toddler Toothbrush

Maggie hates to have her teeth brushed. She hates having anyone in her mouth really. Once the teeth came in I quickly learned to keep my fingers out! Even when she's fallen and cut her mouth she won't let me in there. Teeth brushing is a regular battle at our house. Until....


Now we "tickle the teeth" with the electric toothbrush. She sits there with mouth wide open (and eyes wide open) in a trance. I can brush like crazy without resistance. When I'm done she says, "tickle, tickle, tickle". Phew.

Yea! I'm so glad you resolved that. The same thing is working for Ruby! She loves her motorized toothbrush. It has a timer, so she brushes longer too. Mom will be so proud!

That is great! Mike and I got electric toothbrushes for Christmas. Natalie wanted to see it, so I showed it to her - on, of course - an she stuck it in her mouth immediately and loved every minute of it! I guess I'll have to get one specifically for her, so thanks for the tip!

keep up the good work! That is wonderful. Sadly with each child we have become more...inconsistant with teeth brushing. I know it's terrible. Guess who had cavities the last time we went to the dentist? Child #3. The dentist said that is pretty typical. I felt really bad.

I love waffles and I always wanted to be able to make my own waffles.
When it comes to any kind of cookware or kitchen appliance, Wolfgang Puck remains to be at the
top of the game. You should see to it that your waffle maker is
clean before storing it.
