Hello all, pls I am very desperate for good advice. I am a stay at home mum for now(still looking for job). My 1year 10 month old son doesn't like brushing his mouth at all. Anytime I try to brush his mouth, he puts up a struggle. He pushes and struggles badly. Infact, his dad or my cousin always hold him for me,we pin his hands and legs down,all to no avail. It's even worse when they aren't around and I have to do it alone. We brush most times for over an hour,and at the end of the whole struggle, I barely succeed. Everyday because of the struggle he ends up bleeding in his mouth. Right now,he has blister all over his mouth due to struggle.I have begged him,talked to him, smacked him,threatened him that i wont give him things he likes ,all to no avail. He did the same with my sister when she tried to help.I have used small face towel,cotton wool, small rubber finger brush they use for babies, all to no avail. Am at a loss for what to do. His mouth is smelling badly now. Pls I need advice. I actually asked my family doctor. They said they can't do anything about the situation. Thanks
