¿Did you know that brushing and massaging your baby's gums stimulates their mouth and helps develop oral hygiene habits in a fun and enjoyable way? Milk or baby food residues remain in babies' mouths and need to be removed. Your baby doesn't have teeth, so what you'll be using is a specially designed silicone thimble that fits perfectly into his or her mouth. Before, when these silicone thimbles didn't exist, gauze wrapped around the finger was used, which also works, but the silicone thimble is more comfortable, and babies much more like the pleasant sensation on their gums, which also soothes them when teething. Silicone fingertip brushes are designed to massage and clean babies' gums, tongues, and cheeks. They are flexible, soft and safe because they are made with 100% food-grade silicone, without phthalates or Bisphenol A (BPA). The best-designed thimbles are those that have small silicone bristles on one side, similar to the bristles of a brush, but very soft. On the other hand, they have a slightly irregular surface to massage the gums. Silicone finger cots are designed to clean away milk and baby food residue, thus preventing possible infections such as thrush. Babies enjoy brushing because you stimulate their gums as if it were a game, without forgetting something important: your baby is getting used to this brushing with a pleasant experience.
