as I'm 95% certain that DS3 is teething.....and the tooth I can feel right under the gums, and looking red - is a little way back in his mouth on the RH side - possibly 3rd/4th one back! His front top and bottom are showing no signs of appearing any time soon.........

Is this normal? Has anyone else had a baby whose baby teeth have come through in a strange order??

my DD1 had 1 front bottom tooth, followed by several back teeth before the rest of her front teeth. I laways assumed babies had cute front teeth, but mine just looked freaky!! mind you, now she has two front teeth growing behind her baby teeth before they have fallen out so just think she is wierd

phew - thats good to hear - obviously I could be totally wrong and the first teeth to appear could be the front ones....but it certainly looks and feels like it's on it's way up and out!

I reckon he's trying to get it out so that he can chew his Christmas Dinner easier
