OMG we have a second tooth! It’s the right bottom middle one that has just started to stick through now and again she has been very tolerant – if it has caused her any pain she definitely hasn’t made us aware of it, I’m so proud of her!

Yesterday we began to brush her teeth for the first time. We used a small finger toothbrush and combined it with a little song to make the experience more fun. Clara is quite curious about what we are doing and it doesn’t seem to bother her too much, although she likes to bite down on the brush which makes it really hard to move it around in her mouth! We are going to make sure that we incorporate it into her getting up and going to bed routines from now on so that she learns to get used to it. Even though she has only got the two teeth we are still brushing her whole mouth as if she has a full set as I think it is a good idea to start as we mean to go on. I guess we will move onto a proper baby toothbrush fairly soon once a few more teeth have appeared as it will probably become quite painful to keep my finger in her mouth if she keeps on biting the brush!
