Mommies of late teethers

Ok, so Ryan STILL has NO teeth. He is almost 11 months. My question is, when your DC finally got some teeth did they all come in around the same time? I feel like I will wake up one morning and he will have a mouthful of teeth.

Not that I am looking forward to teething, but its very hard to find variety for him to eat. He doesnt eat baby food anymore and there is not much out there for a kid with gums only.

Emily is 14 months and still only has 2. She got her first tooth at around a year and got the 2nd one a month later. There are no signs of any other ones coming in. I don't even see any swelling on the top where her next teeth should come in.

Roman is 10 months and just started to cut his first tooth. He's been eating regular food for over a month though. I make sure everything is cut up into small pieces and believe me they have very strong gums that help break down the food. He often refuses jarred baby food now. Good luck

Connor got his 1st 2 (bottom) at 10 months. Then the top 4 all came in together at about 15 months.

Katherine got her first tooth at 12 months. About a month later she got a second one. Now she's just about 15 mos. and she's getting all of them in at once. Currently she has the middle 2--top and bottom and several others on the side just coming through.

Katherine is also a picky eater and I hate to say it...her having more teeth now doesn't make her want to eat anything more

Re: Mommies of late teethers

Kevin got his first tooth at 13.5 months. Everyone said they would all come at once but at first it seemed that way - but it has been a long painful drawn out process. He got the first 4 in a month. The next 4 took their time in the course of the next 8 months. They are very slow coming in too - they take forever to grow to the right size. He also gets very sick - colds when he teeths - think no sleep at all. It hasn't been fun.

He is 22 months now and we still only have 8 teeth...well 6 teeth and 2 points for molars.

On the good note - it didn't stop him from eating much...even with no teeth - the kid ate everything. He just took awhile to learn to really bite things like sandwiches and getting those front 4 helped that a lot.

His poor mouth is so swollen always - it is painful to just look at. I just wish his other bottom 2 (he only has 2 on the bottom) would come in - they look so bad, them and the bottom 2 molars.

DD is 14 months and only has 4 teeth. They started to appear around her 1st birthday. They seem to come in fairly slow though.

Re: Mommies of late teethers

Alex got his first tooth at 11 months now at 20 months he has 9, he is cutting his 1 yr molars now. The teeth came slowly. He still eats baby food No matter how hard I try to get him to eat the real thing he prefers gerber. He refuses homemade sweet potatoes but loves them from the jar, go figure.

Re: Mommies of late teethers

Jake cut his first tooth at 10 months. The next 3 came in slowly over the course of a few months. Now, at almost 17 months they are all coming in at once! Poor kid...his gums are so swollen.
