Parents be aware. I usually would read reviews of verified purchases to decide whether or not to buy. This toothbrush set had gotten a better than 4.5-star good rating and the brand is one of our favorites so I didn't hesitate buying it. I did not even try the toothbrush before giving it to the little one - trusted Dr. Brown. I tried the toothpaste, which seemed fine. The little one did not like it and refused to use it to brush teeth.
A bit background. We had a banana shaped first stage toothbrush and baby was interested in using it. We wanted to buy a somewhat more real toothbrush when the baby was a little more than one year old. I did not suspect anything until a few months later (a few days ago) when we tried another method that the pediatrician told us - use a clean wet cloth - and it worked. I thought anyway though the baby would bite it when I put in the baby's mouth the baby wouldn't want to use it to brush. So I decided to use it myself in order not to waste things. What surprised me was the bristles were very hard and thin - the combination made them even SHARPER than an adult's toothbrush bristles. I recalled the few times I forced to use it on the baby and felt regretful not to try it first at least on my face skin or somewhere to test. As I am writing this, the baby is holding and biting the silicon toothbrush we have.
This is my first one-star rating on Amazon after shopping more than 1000 items. You can see how disappointed I was, especially when the brand was what we trusted. I would still recommend many of Dr. Brown's products, but this one, no. Thanks.
