When I was at The Baby Show last week I picked up some toothbrushes for the children from Mam Baby. They’re ace because they come as a teeth brushing starter kit with two brushes, an extra long handled one to train and a normal toddler toothbrush.
The toothbrush sets!
The extra long handle is so that your child can hold the normal part while you hold the extended area and guide them through brushing until they get the hang of it and can move on to a smaller toothbrush handle!
This is perfect for jimmy who is just starting to want to brush his own teeth but left to his own devices would just chew it. It gives them that sense of independence while teaching them to be so and doing a thorough job all at the same time! Very impressed with these and to boot, for extra safety, there is a clip you can add so that the handle doesn’t get pushed too far into the mouth! Such a simple solution to what can be a really tricky event every evening!
Florence is already a seasoned tooth brusher and she really likes the bright colours of the Mam toothbrushes! She chose pink of course! She is modelling both types of brush because Jimmy wasn’t keen to do so… They do say never work with children or animals!
The long handled training brush has a clip so that the handle doesn’t ever go too far into the mouth!
Brushing with the long handle means a grown up can guide!
Normal toddler brushing is a breeze with the shorter handles once you know how!
So they are the toothbrushes which are suitable for first teeth but wheh should you start? As soon as the teeth come through is the advice I have always been told but should we do anything prior to that? mam say midwives and dentists are in agreement that we should be cleaning the bacteria from babies mouths from birth! Mam have developed their Oral Car Rabbit to help do just that. My friend Carly has a tiny baby who was very premature and she says she’s found it incredibly helpful because especially with a smaller baby, the worry of germs is greater! It’s easy to use as you just wipe it round the gums and it’s cute to look at for the baby too!

I was given the toothbrushes and Oral Care Rabbit for the purpose of an honest review.
