Heather in Neverland Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 SO Natalie is now 10.5 months old. She is walking all over the place (started walking the day before she turned 10 months old)...she babbles...she is starting to drink from a sippy cup pretty well, etc. But she has NO teeth. She doesn't even seem to be "teething"...no fever, no slobbering, no crankiness, no chewing on things. No sign of teeth whatsoever. So is this normal? Both of my boys had teeth by 7 months.

TravelingChris Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I just went on a website and it said 70% get their first teeth by 7 months but the other 30% can be as late as 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HayesW Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 My girls were both around 13 months before they got their first teeth. They are fine now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 late teeth family here. Oldest ds got his first tooth at 11.5 months. Acquiring adult teeth has been on a later schedule for him too. I don't remembering acquiring baby teeth, but I lost my last baby tooth at 13. Younger ds is on a similar schedule--a little slower which is attributed to his having down syndrome. My dd takes after her dad and has acquired and lost teeth at the typical rate.

Whereneverever Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'm pretty sure when you teeth is genetic. If her parents got teeth late she probably will, too, but she's firmly in the realm of normal right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Just think of it this way, less time for tooth decay. :001_smile: That's what my pedi dentist says. He likes it when babies get teeth on a later schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murmer Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 my sister's babies all waited until after they were a year to teeth...at which point my kids had mouthfuls...teeth come when teeth come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Pip Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Dd#1 first tooth at 10.5 mos Dd#2 first tooth at 14 mos Dd#3 first tooth at 12-13mos. And they all came in a weird order. Dd#1's first teeth were the outside top, so she looked like a little vampire. Dd#3 had all 4 molars before she had her two outside bottom teeth. I was beginning to think these two teeth didn't exist for her:) None of my dds drank from sippies or ate solid food until after their first tooth, so it was a lllooonnnggg wait.

MotherGoose Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 My dd almost 20 months has a mouthful of teeth, but she just started walking on 11/10 :) She still prefers to crawl. I think they do it when they get ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Ds #4 didn't get any teeth in until well after his first birthday, but he was walking at 10 mos. My other kids all had teeth by 8 mos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo2 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I had one who was almost 2 before he had his first tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Neither of my dds had teeth before they were 18 months old. My oldest though had 8 coming in at once. It wasn't pretty. She has had no problems but also has lost some teeth later than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
