My dd, 8m, still hasn't got any... My own mum says she can't remember when I got my first one!

ds was 6 months. But it is VERY variable so don't worry. Some babies are born with their first tooth!

13 weeks but know someone who had none at 1. Don't worry, it's not a problem.

She is 6 months - same age as her big sis and bro when theirs popped out. I have a friend who was born with 6 teeth and one whose baby still has none at 10 months. I must have very average babes.

DD was a walking, talking (quite fluently too) gummy 1 year old. Very cute No teeth didn;t hinder her ability to talk or eat anything though.

I like gummy grins too. Also sweet neat milk teeth - my eldest is nearly 5 - when will she get gaps and big teeth? I will so be sad to have that tooth fairy hanging about here every 5 minutes.

ds got his first one well after his first birthday and dd is the same. She's still only got six, with two molars half way through now and she's 21 months. Was getting worried, but they seem to be coming very slowly.

I always want to make little dentures for big gummy babies...just to see what they would look like.
A bit like this I think...

MrsBates - DD is 6 and no mising teeth yet. She is only one on her Y2 class not to have lost a toth.

OK. I will enjoy her lovely baby smile for a bit longer. My nana used to tie bits of thread to my wobbly teeth, then tie the other end to a door handle and slam the door to yank the tooth out. A bit complicated but I enjoyed the drama. Wonder if I'll be doing that?

my baby got his last weekend, four days before he was 8 months old and he got his bottom two at the same time, I saw them literally within 3 hours of each other, it was a relief as i swear he's been teething since he was 3 months.

Hulababy - my DS1 will be 6 on Sunday and he still hasn´t lost any teeth yet and just like your DD he´s the only one in Y2 not to have lost a tooth. DS2 is 5 months and doesn´t have any teeth yet although is dribbling a lot and constantly jamming his fist in his mouth and chewing on his thumb.

DD was 11 months, then got about 1 a month until they were all here.

DD is 10 months this week and still hasn't got any. She seems to have been teething forever though. Is it true that if they come later they tend to come several at a time?
