My almost 17 month old gets so excited when I say I'm going to brush her teeth... because she loves toothpaste. It's hard to actually brush when she keeps sucking on the toothbrush and I wonder if any of the paste even reaches the teeth, or if it's just a treat at this point.

It's not just the kid toothpaste, either. Once I accidentally left the adult toothpaste out (strong mint flavor) and she got into it. Squeezed out a whole puddle and was eating it. Girl, why?!

Anyone else with a little toothpaste addict who sabotages the toothbrushing by trying to swallow every single atom of paste right away?
