It is now time for your child's first dental visit. He or she should regularly be using a toothbrush and toothpaste. Use only a pea-sized portion of fluoride toothpaste, since some will be swallowed. Training Do not become frustrated if your child is not yet toilet trained. Signals that your child is ready include staying dry during naps, being unhappy with a dirty diaper, and showing an interest in the toilet.
Children often wet the bed at night even when daytime toilet training is going well.
Other Issues Expect your child to have 6 to 8 colds each year. Most do not require antibiotics. Keep rules few and simple. Reward desirable behavior. Ask your child's care provider how it works.
