Non fluoridated tooth paste is recommended for kids below 2 yrs, since they would not hve learnt proper spitting skill. Brush twice daily, once with toothpaste n once just with wet brush. Other factors also to be considered for ur kid, check the link below...may help u.... happy  parenting!!! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=559766177706947&id=545197595830472
