Toothpaste use in babies typically begins from the moment the first tooth appears. For children under 3 years old, a rice grain-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste is recommended. Between 3 and 6 years old, the amount can be increased to the size of a pea.
Fluoride is recommended by the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) and the World Health Organization because it is effective in preventing tooth decay. Babies swallowing this small amount of toothpaste generally causes no problems, but it's important to keep the tube out of their reach.
I don't make brand recommendations; when choosing, it's enough to check that it says "for children" on it and pay attention to the fluoride content (at least 1000 ppm, preferably 1000-1500 ppm). Before the first use or if you have any doubts, you can consult a pediatric dentist.
