Prezados Tradutores,

Ainda tenho mais um termo que não estou encontrado a tradução adequada dentro do contexto que é "ship something down".
O contexto é o seguinte:

"t’s recommended by the ADA that you see a dentist within six months after the first tooth erupts.
In the mean time, after each feeding whip the baby’s gums down with a clean damp cloth.
This will help remove
food and plaque that can harm their teeth.

Muito obrigado pela ajuda que vocês me deram.

Um abraço.

Atenciosamente,

Sergio Medina

wipe = limpar
Explanation:
Esse é um typo. Devia ser "wipe" e não "whip".

Wipe = clean or dry (something) by rubbing its surface with a cloth, a piece of paper, or one's hand.
