my ds is nearly 1o months old but still has NO teeth! Is this normal? I'm starting to worry as all his "friends" the same age have a few teeth!

My ds didn't cut his first tooth until he was about 13 months. He had no hair either so he looked like a rather large newborn.
Don't worry.

My dd1 didn't get her first teeth until 11 months - and then no more until 16 months - has a full set of gnashers now at nearly 21/2!

I think it's pretty normal. Make the most of the few remaining teething free nights you'll have. Ds is same age and has a set of 6 massive tombstones in his mouth which strangers comment on as if he is a horse

Yeah don't worry oo much. My dd didn't get he 1st tooth until 9 mths, they came thick and fast after that, not sure if this is connected in any way but she didn't really suffer from a lot of pain. My nephew got his 1st tooth quite early and everytime he cuts a tooth he's sufers from pain & sleepless nights. poor liitle mite

My DS cut his first tooth aged 14months. He's now 2 and we're still waiting for the canines and 1 set of molars - these seem to be taking ages to come! Apparently the later they get them, the stronger they'll be!

Dd got her first two (middle bottom) teeth aged 13 months. The rest followed fairly quickly and she had a full set by 2. She was the only child I knew over 1 with no teeth so I worried about it a bit at the time.

Wow. Was going to post virtually the same message earlier today, but then the baby woke up. My DS is almost 8 months and no sign of teeth and all the other babies that were born around the same time all seem to have at least 2. So glad to know it's normal. Thanks wish.
