Toothpaste is not recommended below age of 3 as it contains fluoride which is harmful if swallowed and at this age kids do swallow toothpaste. iron supplements could be a reason for staining in kids teeth. Decay can occur if bottle is kept in the babys mouth for long periods of time. ..or pacifiers are dipped in honey. Clean your baby's teeth with a finger brush or cotton. Do not let him sleep with a milk bottle in his mouth. Give him water to drink after food.
