chewing on a toilet brush. I am freaking out. I brushed his teeth and used the hand sanitizer on his hands. I didn't even know the bathroom door was open. DH apperently didn't close it. Thankfully a friend is a nurse and he said to use listerine on the toothbrush which I only have the ati cavity stuff so I used that and he said no milk for 10 hours cause of bacteria. I hope everything is fine. Has anyone else had this happen?

im sure he'll be fine. just be careful putting the hand sanitizer on him bc kids have died from sucking on their fingers after using sanitizer...the alcohol in it can be deadly for babies!

ewe gross :( my son grabbed our and pulled it into the bath tub with him :( but being in his mouth would be way worse. listerine is probably the bes thing you can do

Yeah it is totally gross. I decided to get one of those pieces to go over the door knob just incase he actually did open it. I know he can reach the knob now. I am also going to put the brush up high. God I swear he just keeps finding more stuff after I put things away lol. He is giving me a run for my money so to speak.

my daughter (who is one) loves that damn toilet brush. she has gotten in her mouth, but i just gave her water, she was fine i still gave her milk and she didnt get sick or anything. she also likes playing with the toilet water.. GRRR what is it witht the toilet.  she also got in to the comet (powerd) and dumbed it all over self in the eye, nose  and mouth. that one was the freaky one for me. but im sure we all did it to when we where that age.

Ick =( Sorry you had to catch that. What is it about toilets that makes kids and animals so attracted to it? LOL. My DD had a real interest in the plunger. I used "possessiveness" to solve it. I told her mommy usually uses the broom and daddy usually uses the plunger. So she says it's his and not everything is for sharing. LOL
