A. Namaste Mom, Yes please use , you should be using by now , you do get kids friendly toothpaste as per age as well that can be used . you have to teach the child to rinse and be around when he or she is doing it

I don’t understand how could that be possible every time? If the toothpaste is intended to 0-2, it means it is safe to swallow which in reality isn’t from the description given behind it
