My little one still loves his bedtime bottle, and I tried those tooth wipes afterward, but honestly, they're kinda awkward and he hates them. Anyone else find a better method or product that actually works and doesn't cause a meltdown?

Been there myself—those wipes can be a real wrestling match. I found switching to a soft silicone finger brush helped a ton. My kiddo thought it was funny, like a little game, and it made things way less stressful...worth a shot maybe?

Haha, totally relate to this! We tried everything at first—those wipes were definitely a two-person job, felt like wrestling a tiny octopus. 😅 Eventually, we switched to one of those silicone finger brushes too, and it was a game changer. Honestly, my wallet was relieved too, since they're pretty cheap and last forever. I even started making silly sound effects while brushing, and now my little guy actually giggles instead of squirming away. It's not foolproof every night though—there are still those evenings when he's just not having it—but overall it's way better than the wipes struggle. Hang in there, it does get easier...eventually.
