I keep forgetting to brush teeth at night!  So does DH.  So we brush approx 75% of the time.... :-[ 

The silly thing is that DS loves toothbrushing - he grabs hold of the toothbrush and -- with a triumph of enthusiasm over accuracy, lol -- manages pretty well really. 

That's what we have here!  He lloooooooves it!  Gets mad if I try to fob him off without toothpaste, too!  We are teaching him to rinse his mouth out and spit now but it's more of a mess than anything!

Mashi, I was taken aback to read that the reason for the advice to drop bottles by 1 is that lots of people would otherwise be tempted to leave bottles in cots overnight.   Does anyone here do that?   
Well this is what my HV said.  So I thought to myself that there must be more to it than that, and at a GP appt a few days later asked my GP. Said the same thing. Had a hospital appt with the paed about DS's milk allergy a couple of weeks later and asked him and he said the very same thing, too.  Sooooo....unless it's just the area of England where I was living, then it seems that people must actually do that.  ???

Lol, please let me know when you figure out how to do the rinsing.   When I try, my little chap just brandishes the toothbrush, looks even more pleased with himself and dutifully dribbles the toothpastey-water all down his nice, clean PJs....
