My 15 month old does not want to brush her teeth!

She used to be okay with letting me brush her teeth until a few days ago. It used to be a “fun” activity - she would even smile and clap when I brushed her teeth. I don’t know what changed but ever since 3 days ago she will not let me brush her teeth and would protest harshly. #Needadvice

My son went through something similar around that age. One day brushing teeth was fun, and the next day he acted like I was torturing him. 😅 Sometimes I wonder if it's teething-related or just them realizing they can have opinions about everything. We just kept brushing, even if it wasn't perfect. Some days I had to sing songs, let him hold a second toothbrush, or make silly faces to get through it. Now that he's older, if he's had something sweet, I sometimes show him little videos about "germs" on teeth and remind him during brushing that we need to get all the germs out. 😂 Obviously your little one is still a bit young for that, but it worked surprisingly well for mine when he got older. Everything is a phase with them!
