Wow!! Crazy that I learn something new everyday! this is revolutionary! Thank you so much for sharing – I need to get my hands on these cool toothbrushes for my littles
We’ve tried lying down before and it worked nicely. Thankfully all of my older children brush well on their own, but I’m thinking Baby’s Buddy would be a nice addition to our household for our 5 month old. I’m glad to know about it and look forward to trying it myself! Thank you for the info! 🙂
I have never heard of Hays Wells Syndrome, an am glad to see you have found better ways to care for your children’s teeth. I imagine the lying down method and Baby’s Buddy would be a great way to get all babies used to having their teeth brushed. Thanks for the very informative post!
Wow, I learn something new everyday too. This is great advice fo rany Mom (and anyone eve rhaving to brush a baby’s teeth). I’m sorry your kiddos have trouble with their teeth, but I’m glad you’re finding this way to at least make burshing less of a problem.
Neither of my kids as babies were easy to brush their gums or tiny teeth as they erupted. I wasn’t sure who was more tortured…them or me! hahahaha But it is a good habit to try and instill as early as possible to promote good oral health later.
We started laying our girls down to brush when they got a little fiesty with their teeth brushing. But, it sort of just happened. I never thought of all of the pros to doing it that way.
That’s just such a great idea. I’ll definitely be passing along that tip to my niece, who’s been struggling with getting her little one year old to brush her teeth. Thanks!
I have never considered laying our son down during teeth brushing. It does sounds like an excellent idea though. We began with an infant toothbrush once his first two teeth popped through (within 2 days of each other). Now, at 3 years old, he uses the toothbrush himself at the sink once his Daddy or I have brushed them thoroughly.
Brushing kids’ teeth lying down was one of the best tips someone gave me when my boys were small. Now, they won’t tolerate that, but the motorized toothbrushes help!

A definite AHA moment for me! Thanks for sharing!

My daughter is the worst. I can’t use the finger one because she bites me now. I want to keep my fingers!
Will be passing the tip of laying the baby down own to my moms group! Great post.

Thank you for these great tips!! I never would have thought of that but will do it with my girls.
that’s genius. and why don’t we ever hear that!!
i hope your son gets more comfortable with the brushing soon
It makes such good sense to gradually introduce the texture. I’m sure it’s awful if you’re being surprised by a toothbrush for the first time!
Great post! My daughter used to try to bite me like crazy!
