    Hi again! 

    Mine also has issues with this she can't stand the feeling of the brush on her gums, doesn't help that her baby teeth had no enamel and were disintegrating when they came through I spoke to the dental hygienist and she recommended down sizing to a soft baby brush and milk toothpaste (0-2 years) this has made a massive difference we also smear some over her teeth with a finger to allow it to soak into the teeth
