Baby Buddy 360 Toothbrush Step ONE, Blue

My 20 month old hated tooth brushing time. We had been using the rubbery banana brush from when was around 6 months old, progressing the toddler banana version. Her toothbrush hatred got to the point where she cried so hard I was afraid she'd vomit. She was so upset and tried to kick and twist to get away. I felt awful and dreaded it each night. But I still needed to clean her teeth! I tried letting her brush my teeth, showing her me brushing, letting her brush, but nothing helped. I read the reviews on this toothbrush and figured if nothing else, the 360° brush would make the unpleasantness end faster. Imagine my utter shock when we used it for the first time and my child ACTUALLY ENJOYED IT?!?!!!?!! Not only did she open up to let me brush, she took the handle and brushed herself, surprisingly deftly I might add. It's been a week, and tonight she heard me mention bedtime, and she came running over making a toothbrushing motion with her finger in front of her lips! I am still in shock! I got her toothbrush and she sprinted across the room to get her teeth brushed. She didn't want to stop. Absolutely astonishing reversal. Very happy with the easy to use design, the bristles seem to clean very well, and the slim handle makes it easy to use in small mouths. I wet the brush and use Tom's of Maine baby and toddler toothpaste on it. Thanks to whoever came up with this design, from one very pleased toddler and one utterly relieved mama!!!
