Colgate My First Infant & Toddler Toothpaste (fluoride free)
A plain fluoride-free first toothpaste for babies who cannot spit yet, with a short window of use.
The short version
- Parents starting to brush a baby's first teeth
- Toddlers who still swallow toothpaste instead of spitting
- Your child can already spit, since Colgate then points to its fluoride kids toothpaste
- You want a larger tube that lasts longer
What owners like
- Safe if swallowed, which suits babies who have not learned to spit
- Short, plain ingredient list without colors or preservatives
- Mild flavor that is not minty
Common complaints
- In the bundled toothbrush kit version, some parents found the brush bristles too stiff
- Only covers a short age range before a switch is needed

What it does
A fluoride-free, low foaming training toothpaste in a mild fruit flavor, sold in a 40 mL tube for babies and toddlers up to age 2.
- Fluoride free, which Colgate says makes it safe if swallowed
- Low foaming formula with no sodium lauryl sulfate
- Mild fruit flavor rather than mint
- Stand-up tube with a twist-off cap for less mess
- Full ingredient list printed by Colgate
A simple first toothpaste for babies and toddlers who cannot spit yet, from a brand stocked almost everywhere. The trade-off is a short window of use, since Colgate suggests moving to a fluoride toothpaste once a child can spit, and the tube is small.
