meiteoh 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 Re the brushing of teeth: I was told to start even before my baby starts teething in order to get them into the habit of brushing their teeth. So I guess you could start now since she already has a couple of teeth. It's never too late OR too early. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happi 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 most probably got dry skin or dirt in the navel area. use some olive oil & rub the area to clean/moisturize the skin. if not, try to remind her not to scratch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maesy_11 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2009 I bought my girl Pigeon Training Toothbrush Level 2 when her 7th and 8th tooth cutting through (http://www.pigeonbaby.info/product.php?pr_id=26). In fact, it is rather a fun activity to her than a toothbrushing practice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tinkerbelle 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2010 i only started my kid on his pigeon stage 1 toothbrush when he turned 1yo. i was kinda apprehensive about letting him poking himself in the mouth, reason being, my kid is really choh-loh kind, even with the plastic protector thingy, i am still hesitant.now he's already on his stage 2 toothbrush and he does a good job cleaning his teeth on his own while i take my morning shower, he'll be busy at it (brushing his teeth for a good 10mins).
