toothpaste for 15month

Posted by flowers-daffodil (222 days ago)

i would like to start using toothpaste for my 15month old. i read that the toothpaste for babies shouldnt contain flouride. can anyone recommend any please?

i'm still using cooled boiled water to rinse her toothbrush as she sucks on it when i brush her teeth. can i just use tap water now to brush her teeth?

There is a safe toothpaste for babies... available in Meka. It's good. Safe even to swallow.

My girls been using pigeon strawberry flavour since she was 1.5 yrs old..its flouride free and mainly meant for babies..she loves it..refuses to use anything else....but have seen quiet a few only for babies toothpaste at b2b and toys r us....

i guess its ok to start the tap water but perhaps u would like to wait till she is ard 18mth old..have seen lot of frds start ard that time..

As mentioned, there is baby toothpaste around. Wellcome has some Oral-B with Disney characters for example.

Boiled water can still contain heavy metals. These can cause issues with brain development. I would recommend bottled water if she swallows a lot. If it's only a drop or two you're fine.
