    Clean your baby's mouth, let your baby lie on his side, and wrap a small square towel or saliva towel around the baby's jaw to avoid soaking clothes and pants. New mothers use neat, disinfected and sterilized small sand cloth or cotton balls, dip them in warm water, first wipe the cheeks in the mouth, the outside of the gums, and then wipe the inside and tongue. If the baby's closed acne does not cooperate, you can pinch the baby's cheek with the thumb and ring finger of the left hand, let the baby stretch out, and then clean up.

    However, the posture must be light, because the child's oral mucosa is very delicate, and there is little saliva, which is easy to damage and cause feelings.

    The sequence is to scrub the inside of the mouth first, then the outside of the gums, then the inside of the gums, and finally the mouth. When cleaning, it is necessary to pay attention to the gums, mouth and other places where milk residue is very easy to remain, but the tongue is a sensitive area, and scrubbing too heavily will cause the child to retch, preventing the baby from nausea and vomiting due to gagging, so parents should be careful. If you can't wipe it clean, you don't need to use too much force to prevent it from breaking and causing pain and swallowing disorders in your baby.

    Before the baby has teeth, the purpose is to after feeding, I wrap my fingers in a fine sand cloth dipped in warm boiled water to gently massage the root of the tooth for the baby, when doing it to operate softly, and talk to the baby softly, the baby feels very comfortable and will laugh happily.

    The first pair of baby teeth gradually emerges at 4 months, and some online parenting experiences say that the baby needs to be brushed gradually from the first pair of teeth. But I don't guarantee it, because children love to bite and bite! When I wrapped my fingers in a cloth to clean him, if he bit me, I exaggerated and made a very painful appearance, at first he felt that my own manifestation was interesting, but then when he saw that I was in pain, he would open his mouth and not bite.

    Therefore, the baby has been observing the expressions of adults and making a manifestation. After that, I brush my teeth every day sooner or later, and my child needs to watch me brush my teeth and grab a soft-bristled toothbrush.

    Since 8 months, the third pair of children's baby teeth has gradually bought a baby-specific soft-bristled toothbrush and a small toothbrush, and the child will watch me brush his teeth while "nibbling" the soft-bristled toothbrush himself! I gnawed on 2 soft-bristled toothbrushes, and now I can brush my teeth gradually after 21 months. But I either used cold water for him did not use children's toothpaste, although the publicity plan said that the children's toothpaste is food-grade stainless steel is very safe to swallow, but I still feel that I should try not to swallow it.

    Sometimes I help him brush his teeth, and he can also cooperate with each other's commands, and he can brush neatly and neatly before, back, back, left, right, inside and out.

If you do need to wash the individual, you can use a clean cotton swab dipped in warm water and gently apply the child's oral mucosa. Pay attention to the parents' movements to be gentle and do not damage the child's oral mucosa, because the child's oral mucosa is relatively delicate.

    In addition, it should be noted that the newborn has not yet erupted teeth, and if there is a lot of saliva, it can also play a role in cleaning the mouth. Therefore, there is no need to clean the oral cavity of newborns, nor do you need special gauze, handkerchiefs, and cotton swabs to scrub the child's oral mucosa, because it is very easy to break the oral mucosa and cause bacterial infection.
