My baby currently 11 months. I'm facing problem that she won't allow me to clean a mouth & teeth. As she always shut her mouth tightly . Previously it's okie as I'm using thin cloth to clean her tongue and gum. Anyone can share their experiences with me and recommendation ? Thanks

My son hated brushing teeth too. At 11mo it’s hard to clean well with cloth and if they bite down it’s pretty painful- so we used Finger toothbrush eg. Dr browns or a baby toothbrush. Also Sing ‘if all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops’ song cos there’s a part where it goes ‘ah ah ah ah…’ just persist! They will outgrow the defiance and eventually accept that brushing teeth is a part of life!
