The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Baby teeth cleaning cloths are a practical alternative, especially when the first teeth appear and using a brush is difficult. They generally contain teeth-friendly sweeteners like xylitol and are worn on the finger to wipe the gum line and tooth surface. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends cleaning twice daily (after breakfast and after the last feeding at night) for babies with emerging teeth. Cloths are a great helper but don't completely replace a brush; the ultimate goal should be to transition to a soft-bristled brush around age one.
