Start Early With These!
I wish I would have found out about these sooner. We did early brushing with my son, but the older and stronger he got, the more difficult it was to brush. I also wish I would have corrected his lip tie and tongue tie. Brushing tears the upper lip where it's attached to the base of his teeth, and they bleed. And like so many lip/tongue tied babies, his upper 4 teeth need major work- and now they'll have to give him general anesthesia to fix them. I found these a little to late to have possibly avoided that, but it's the only way I can consistently clean his teeth now, (or at least without having to enlist for help holding him down). It's still a huge battle. I feel like I'm wrestling a bear, and he does bite my finger- but, I can feel where I'm cleaning, and can see a difference afterwards. And I really think the xylitol is preserving what's left. After researching all the promising studies, I am also purchasing a bag of xylitol, as most study's state potential benefits start at a higher dose than what's likely in these wipes alone. Overall I'm happy with these, but wish the wipe was bigger, and maybe more of a pocket design, where your fingers can slip in, rather than a flat small piece. If not handled right, or if your impulsive, autonomous demanding toddler wants to do it himself, and/or bites you, it's easy to lose your grip on the wipe, and could be a choking hazard. So don't leave them alone with it and pay close attention. This is my second multipack box that I have bought for my household. I have also given with an accompanied gift for baby showers.. I will be buying again.
