dental health and breastfeeding
I chatted with a dental health promoter today, we talked about the fact DS
takes a few sips of milk after cleaning his teeth at night and she was really keen that we switch that round, so we're going to try, I also asked about how we might not get into this cycle with DD (7 months, breastfed) and didn't really get very far, right now she has no teeth, when she does, we will start by brushing once a day in the bath, so before her last feed. She doesn't feed regularly in the night, so no problems there. But I'm wondering what might be a good point to transitioning her to feed, then teeth brush, then bed? Cheers Anne |

I don't know - my dentist didn't even ask when we took YoungBloke when he was two. We've instigated cleaning teeth, last nursing session and then a short drink of water, and I know he swishes it around his mouth because sometimes he forgets to keep his mouth closed... -- Linz YB: 2 years, 11.5kg, 83cm, still breastfed. |
