Hi Mam ... you can wipe baby teeth and mouth with clean cloth after each feed ..also give small amount of water to drink after every feed ...can start brushing baby's teeth with a small baby brush with a very small amount of  baby toothpaste twice daily .. these are available in most baby stores...if you find it difficult to brush twice pls do once at night before sleep ....night brushing is much more important than morning brushing..
