A. When to Start Brushing Teeth? You should start brushing your baby’s teeth as soon as the first tooth appears (usually around 6 months). For a 1-year, 1-month-old, use a soft-bristled baby toothbrush with a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste (about the size of a rice grain). Brush twice daily, especially before bedtime, to prevent cavities. Can a 1-Year, 1-Month-Old Eat Mutton? Yes, you can introduce mutton at this age, but ensure it is: ✅ Well-cooked and soft – Boil or slow-cook it until very tender. ✅ Mashed or finely shredded – To prevent choking. ✅ Mildly spiced – Avoid excess salt, spice, or oil. ✅ Given in small portions – Start with mutton soup or minced mutton mixed with dal or rice. Introduce gradually and observe for any signs of allergy or digestion issues. Let me know if you need a recipe or meal ideas!
