I could be wrong, but I don’t think there’s a baby in the world that loves to get his teeth brushed more than the Babito. We use the toothbrush that slides over your finger (see above). When you tell Babito that it’s “Time to brush your teeth” he comes running, spitting his binkie out onto the floor and raising his arms for you to pick him up. You pick him up and he opens his mouth as wide as he can. You stick your finger in his mouth and scrub his 6 teeth and his gums. If you try to pull your finger out he bites down to keep the toothbrush in his mouth. When you finally wedge your finger out of his sharp, vise-like grip he starts with the “Mah Mah Mah” which translates to “More More More!”.
I hope he keeps this up. If he does, he’ll have the cleanest, shiniest mouth in town and it’ll save me a fortune in dentist bills.

River doesn’t mind the toothbrush either. We’ve just recently started brushing though, considering he just got his first tooth one month ago.
