    I've got a problem with that, my DD1 hates most toothpaste, I wish I'd used adult toothpaste on her from the off because the strawberry one is no good for her big teeth :(

    Delain, I've had that problem with Ben but he will now use Crest. Was a real fuss in the beginning, he's 6.

    i'm 25 and still scared :eek::rotfl:

    my HV also mentioned using adult toothpaste rather than childrens, not enough of something or other in the childrens, will listen harder next time :o

    I'm much older and very hard. Not bothered in slightest by dentist or the needles. :D

    Not enough Flouride, plus there are sweetners in childrens toothpastes. Took me ages to get Joe off fruity kids toothpastes. Complained mine was too minty. He now happily uses Childrens Sensodyne, and the dentist said that was fine.

    Mine are 7, 6 and 6 (twins) and it's only the oldest atm, the little two still have all their baby teeth bar the 2 bottom front ones!

    Toothpaste we got given stuff by HV:Sanderson OHP1000 very mild minty toothpaste, whatever that means! We get a free toothbrush as well as part of some health programme or another Toothsmile? I think

    We have no locks on the bathroom for exactly the same reason... Aimee was always locking herself in and I took them off out of fear of her getting stuck in there...

    We chose a bathroom lock which is quite easy to open from the outside in case of small children locking themselves in! :o

    wow have you all seen the weather for the weekend, 20 degrees on Sunday, bright sunshineeeeee :D

    Oh yay!!! :D My new smaller clothes have arrived today so will be able to wear the shorts and skirt :o

    On the subject of periods, I didnt get mine till i was 13 but we were told about them at 8/9 before leaving primary school. My mom gave me lots of different pads etc ready for when the time came. My sister told me a lot though, she didn't care (not sure my mom knew some things she told me though!).

    Oh, Elliot finally cut a tooth at the back-it had been several months since the last one came through. He's got three more to go, these seem to be there worst taking their time to come bit at a time. He's had a bit of nappy rash (doesn't usually get it) and been clingy and crying-i hope the others hurry up now!

    I had a chat with my mom, she seems to think he will be saying more words soon. And that he's too busy lining up all his toys/cars and building towers with his bricks etc. He's constantly on the go, he starts one thing then deicdes to go and get something else aswell.

    Now Elliot loves the taste of toothpaste, but doesn't like me actually cleaning his teeth. I'll say 'shall we go and clean your teeth?' and he'll go to the bathroom, ill sit him on my knee and go to clean....he'll try to suck all the toothpaste off then try to escape off my lap! He doesn't cry now though, so it's getting a bit easier. My hubby really struggles to clean Elliots teeth though, i have to hold him quite firmly and tickle him, sing silly songs etc to distract him! :)

    Hi Weezl, lovely to hear from you, what a lovely pic of fergie, such a handsome boy!

    Someone mistook El for a boy in Asda this morning, (yes she has a blue coat but it has a pattern of daffodils all over it) how very dare they!

    Feely appears to have de-friended me on FB, anyone else?

    Sorry me posting again :o Have I added you on fb yet? I deleted everyone last week :( Sorry to everyone, not a good week. Feeling a bit happier this week.

    keely.
