A. It could be quite difficult to get the baby's teeth brushed at this age. But try making it fun by singing her some songs while brushing and showing the baby in the mirror while brushing. Then after she grows bit older, You can catch her attention by using different colored tooth brushes, like one color for each day and u can sing some rhymes while brushing. Tell her brushing will complete by the time the song ends. You can even prepare a chart to track morning and evening brushing and ask her to paste a sticker on the relevant column once she finishes brushing for that part of the day.
