Teeth *POLL*

[Widget123]

I know we've talked about it here and there, but I don't think we've dedicated to a thread to this yet?

How many teeth does LO have?

[beersandweirs]

2 for now.

[alayne926]

0 for now...but good God...the drool and low grade fevers have to mean somethings coming, right? RIGHT?!?

[Widget123]

LO has 0. At this age, I remember DD had at least 1, probably 2.  Curious how many others still have toothless LOs.

[sugarkissed]

4, and they ALL came in the span of 2 weeks, so that was.... fun.

[jillywilly]

None, although I've sworn he has to have teeth coming in any time now forever. But nope, they're taking their sweet time, leaving me a drool monster who chews on everything ALL the time.

I almost posted this same thing, but I decided to take a nap instead.

We have zero teeth and no sign of them appearing any time soon.

Same with us! Seriously teething hell.

This LO has 2, got the first one at 5 months. It was a loner for quite awhile but now we have 2.

DS was still toothless at this point, he got the bottom 2 at the same time, around 10 months.

[musicfrk2002]

2 teeth right now, and always chewing on his fingers

[erbear]

0 teeth and no sign of any appearing anytime soon - just tons of drool and biting on things!

[tiffbot]

2 bottoms came in at 4 months.

2 top outer incisors were in around 5.5 months

2 top front teeth were in by 6.5 months. The day she got her 6th was the same point in DS's life when he got his first!

I'm sure she's been teething her two bottom outer incisors too for a couple weeks but haven't seen them yet.

[mrsmonogrammed]

We have our 2 bottom teeth and she handled them like a champ. Just a runny nose and drooly. Hoping the next ones are as easy!

I'm also curious which teeth are coming in first for the LO's and how they are handling it.

N has her 2 bottom front teeth. They both popped up right before Christmas and I don't think it was a super huge deal for her. Mostly just more drooling and gnawing on things.

I think the bottom front teeth coming in first is the norm.  My DD was like N with teething, she never really acted different because of it (other than drooling), not even for the molars... hoping for more of the same with LO.

[ashbash]

Not a one and no real signs of any

DD1 didnt get one until 10 months so......

[mbjune13]

I can see and feel her bottom central teeth, they haven't came up much yet though. I didn't even know they were coming, but she has been more clingy lately so maybe that's why.

[gigi3126]

Two bottom front teeth. He got them within a week of each other. I'm terrified for when he gets the top ones. He's bitten me a couple of times, but his tongue is usually blocking them when he nurses. All bets are off for those top teeth though.

He got 2 teeth when he was 4 mos old. Nothing since but I'm pretty sure mr crabby pants is teething right now. It's hard to tell if it's a bit of a cold or teething to be honest. Only symptoms are a bit of a runny nose, rosy cheeks and grumpy. Also chewing on his fingers on one side of his mouth, which is why I'm thinking teeth

+1 to all this.

[candylandycane]

2 bottom front teeth came in right before she turned 4 months. Only symptoms were rosy cheeks, mild fever, and she puked hardcore the day before they broke skin. They didn't really seem to affect her mood or sleep.

Nothing since then. I keep looking for the next one because she's a drooly crank monster. But so far, nada.

I feel the same way! My poor nips...

The conversation I had with the doctor at his 4 month appointment:

Dr: Well someone is definitely teething!
Me: Really? Did you feel some teeth?
Dr: No, but it's usually a 2 month process, so with the drooling, and hand biting, and ear pulling, he'll be getting his first tooth around 6 months.
Me: I'm totally unprepared for that! LBB didn't get any teeth until 10 months.
Dr: Well, different babies, different times and all that.

This kid is over 7 months old and not a tooth to be seen. But we've had 3 months of drooling, sticking everything in his mouth, pulling his ear, and crappy sleep.

[mirage86]

E has two teeth and it doesn't look like any more are on the way atm. He's been very clingy lately and has been biting everything and drooling everywhere, but when his current teeth were actually just a few days from breaking in he was a mess. I really hope it gets easier as more teeth come in.

[paintdadanta]

None here but he's been teething like crazy since 3 months. Pedi was shocked none have broken through since all but the top and bottom two are swollen and can be felt through the gum, poor guy.

[iowamama615]

2 bottom front teeth here. The 1st one came in the day after he hit 6 months, and the 2nd about a week later. I think his top 2 are working their way out, judging by swollen gums and general grumpiness.

Thanks! I was long overdue apparently.

LO started serious teething symptoms at nine weeks. The health visitor said it was early and she'd probably have her first teeth by four months. She still gets severe teething symptoms from time to time and the health visitor was utterly shocked last time we saw her that there were still no teeth. Maybe she'll get a tooth when she's 43.

Literally ALL of this exactly.
