    Hi Ladies,

    Hope you're all doing well.

    We've been brushing Thomas' 4 teeth now with just his toothbrush and water whilst in the bath. I'm thinking of using toothpaste and was wondering if I have to buy special baby toothpaste or will our colgate one suffice?

    Thank you xxx

    Hi,

    We have been brushing his little teeth with 'milk teeth' toothpaste. We had a free sample in our bounty bag from when he was born. We are only using a tiny smear of the toothpaste as Fin only has 2 teeth at the moment so I think this tube will last us a while!

    hi hun, im a dental nurse- we advise a milk tooth paste until around age 5/6 as there is less fluroide in it, in case of swallowing- ingesting too much can be bad for you but a tiny amount wont hurt, although the mintiness of colgate may be a bit strong for his little mouth. xx

    We use a "milk tooth" toothpaste for our LO and only put a smear on his toothbrush so that he doesn't swallow too much. He loves it too, which of course I hope continues xx
