another tip
Not only replace the toothbrush, but the TOOTHPASTE is a total breeding ground for everything as everybody shares it and touches their brush to the opening.
Visit the Dollar Store and get everyone their OWN tube of toothpaste. It helps to prevent many different bugs from being passed to family members; colds, flus, strep, etc. And really if you think about it, its just plain unsanitary.
Also with the toothbrush, do not replace it until she is on the antibiotic for 3 full days. And if you're not going to replace everyone's at the same time (which is normally a good idea until you do the seperate toothpaste thing, throw everyones toothbrush in the dishwasher for a cycle.
Extra hugs for the baby!!!
