Baby's Oral Care

Since birth, we've always been using a damp cloth to clean baby cleo's mouth. This is taught by my mum. Well, we thought about using those oral wipes available in stores, but got worried about the ingredients used (despite them saying its 100% purified water), so we stuck with using a wet handkerchief.

Baby Cleo absolutely HATES IT when we try to clean her mouth. She will push our hands away, cry, or do whatever she can to get away from it. When she was younger, we can still try to coax, but as she gets older, she will push our hands away and twist and turn her way out of it.

Recently, i found this really cute finger toothbrush on iherb, and decided to give it a try since its only S$3+. (probably more ex now given the stronger US$)

Cleo LOVES it. The first thing i hold it in front of her, she open her mouth wide with a grin. First time ever she welcomes me brushing her "teeth" (gums and tongue to be exact). She happily lets me brush around her mouth, and bites on my finger. She probably think it is a toy. I thought this could just be a new-toy excitement, but no! every bath time she welcomes this toothbrush with a big wide mouth. She'll also allow me to brush as long as I want. 

so yeap, this has made into the list of one of the best baby things I've bought. :)
