Honestly, I was pretty stressed when my little guy's first tooth popped up. I mean, brushing a baby's teeth is like wrestling a slippery octopus, you know? But we started making it into a silly game, singing goofy songs and stuff, and now he actually giggles through it. Dentist said yesterday his teeth look great—no cavities yet! Curious if anyone else had luck with creative ways to get their kiddos brushing without drama.
That's great you found a playful approach that works. When my kids were little, we used sticker charts—sounds old-school, but they loved picking out their own stickers after brushing. Eventually, they got so into it, they'd remind me if I forgot. Curious though, has anyone tried those flavored toothpastes designed specifically for toddlers? I always wondered if they're helpful or just a gimmick...
