J seems a bit distressed by his (grizzly, off his food), but nothing compared with Joseph. It must be really hard for both of you!Tabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630550501594715346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098377761995034171.post-28032945329448477672011-04-27T00:17:48.562+01:002011-04-27T00:17:48.562+01:00Honestly I wouldn't dream of using an adult to...Honestly I wouldn't dream of using an adult toothpaste on a child - for two reasons: the really strong, stinging, eye-watering "mint" flavour (no wonder he doesn't like it) and because we're told not to use it until a child can spit properly. That amount of fluoride might be okay for teeth, but it's not meant to be ingested. We use Snappy Jaws strawberry flavour and the Weleda one. Snappy Jaws contains xylitol which is meant to have great teeth saving properties without being a deadly evil like fluoride. Even with those I only use the tiniest smudge on a toothbrush. I'm always amazed when they say to use a "pea sized" amount for kids. Poor kids, I'd only use about 1/3 of a pea size even for myself.Tabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630550501594715346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098377761995034171.post-3645713176443785442011-04-26T11:43:05.787+01:002011-04-26T11:43:05.787+01:00That's what I figured, better to use strawberr...That's what I figured, better to use strawberry toothpaste, and have to wean him off it, than for him to have no teeth to worry about!

(Don't blame me, blame his Dad!) I wouldn't want to have to start using it on Babyzoid either, but sometimes you just have to go with what works. You can wean him off it later! <br /><br />xXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
