At what age did your baby get a tooth? My daughter is ten months, and she doesn't have any. Is that normal?

my first was almost 14 months and my second was 8 months old. I was told the later the better as it's easier to keep suckling them without getting bitten. I think it just happens whenever and you don't need to worry for ages yet.

I guess every baby is different. I was just concerned because my friends babies were eating solid(not baby food) by Hannah's age, so I wasn't sure. I think we all as parents want our kids to be in the middle of the curve, if not above it.

Hi there. My daughter is only 7 1/2mos old but she is starting to have sensations on her gums. There's already some white thing trying to squueeze its way out. Although I have experienced my niece have her first tooth at 11 mos. When I asked my daughter's pediatrician about infants and teeth, he said that it really depends on the groth of the infant. No particular age should be met for this phenomenon. Happy parenting!

I have a friend that her baby didn't get his first teeth until he was about 14 months old, she even rang a dentist to ask if there was something wrong and they said that it's ok, some kids will early and other kids take longer. With my first 3 babies, they all got there first one about 5 months old and with my last one he got his first one when he was 4 months old. I just realised this discussion started about 5 months ago, so your daughter has probably got a heap of teeth now.

My daughter's first tooth started coming in when she was 10 months 1 week. A month later and it's still not even halfway in and there aren't any others coming through yet. She has been SUPER cranky this week so I'm guessing there will be more soon.
