I've been trying to brush Stephen's teeth but I'm finding it a bit of a challenge! I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to make life a bit easier! I wasn't expecting to have to do it yet but he's already got 8 teeth xxx

omg 8 teeth?! i know i really need ton start brushing alfies but gonna wait till hes feeling better as no doubt he will probs gag!! good luck tho and let me know how u get on!

hmmmm 2 person jobbie!

One would distract the other would brush...and failing that one would hold limbs down while the brushed!

Don't worry though they do get used to it, Izzy actually enjoys it now!

hmm i will be watching this one - 8 blummin teeth??? eli doesn't have any yet poor little gummy bear. he loves playing with his toothbrush though - dunno if that will serve to be useful or a hindrance in future!

Let them hold brush an then put in their mouth and brush with them. Ive just started with Lewis as he has his first tooth x

Thanks ladies. Stephen likes chewing on the brush but whether or not he lets me actually clean them depends on his mood! I can't believe he's already got 8 teeth, I thought it was supposed to be ages till he got loads of teeth He's really tall too so everybody already thinks he's loads older than he is I'll try letting him help me clean them and see how he gets on xxx

It is loads for his age, but better than taking ages to come though I suppose!
Izzy got her first 2 at 6 months but was a while before she had 8
