9.5 mo old with 4 teeth...

and I keep forgetting to wipe them/brush them with a cloth every day. I'm worried his teeth are going to get ruined by my bad memory.

How do you remember to brush your LO's teeth?

P.S. I have lots of sticky notes already all over the house and I forget to look at them daily!

Do you do a daily bath? You can try to make it a habit to do that before even removing his clothing. Or you can do it before you brush yours at night.

I don't know...I am the same. DD is 9 months old with 4 teeth and I use the little finger brush thingy, but probably only a few times a week. Plus it is so difficult to even really "brush" the teeth, she just bites on the brush...I am worried about tooth decay too...

Same boat. 10 month old with 5 teeth. I brush her teeth about 5 days a week, so I'm doing okay but not great. We've made it the 1st part of our nighttime routine. She sits in Daddy's lap and cuddles while I wash her face and hands with a wipe, then it's time for "brush, brush, brush!" She thinks its a game, and I get in there with the brush and do what I can for 15-30 seconds. I doubt it's enough...had to give up the finger brush because she'd BITE down hard! The days I miss are usually because she'll fall asleep before I get a chance to start the routine. Ugh, in fact, last night I didn't get a chance to brush--she went from happy to a tired, crying mess in about 2 minutes.
