Brushing teeth
Anyone else dread tooth brush time? My little one screams bloody murder everytime and I always end up with blood on the brush...not sure if I'm doing it too hard? I brush them twice a day so I don't think it would be gum disease even if its always a struggle 😭

My son used to hate it but lately he’s been quite okay. I’ve changed his toothbrush so maybe consider trying a different type of toothbrush? Also I’ve changed the way I hold him while I brush his teeth, so now I hold him like I’m about to breastfeed him - he seems calm when he’s held like that. Also he’s enjoyed holding a toothbrush on his own, so I got extra toothbrushes, he’s usually holding one while I brush his teeth. And then he’ll act like he’s brushing my teeth 😂
We do it at bath time every eve. I let her chew on it throughout the day (perfect distraction for nappy time 🤣) and she’s got used to it now!

I can’t relate as my son absolutely loves brushing his teeth, everytime we’re in the bathroom he runs to his toothbrush😂 but I just wanted to say they do like light up ones and ones that play a song so may be an idea to get something like this to try make it a bit fun for them maybe?
