Has anyone heard of a situation like this? thoughts please?

Question

my son is nearly 9months, he got his 1st two teeth when he was 4 months, so that means it has been nearly 5months since anymore teeth showing, is this normal? has anyone heard of a similar situation?

Answer 1

oh ya, he got his first ones pretty early so the next ones are just trying to catch up. probably around age 1

Answer 2

It's very common... nothing to worry about.  He'll probably get the next two around his 1st birthday.

Answer 3

Sounds about right to me. Your child does not know he is on a schedule for developing, so he is going to learn things at his own pace.  =)  enjoy him!

Answer 4

A lot of babies teeth up until they are about 2 years old! My youngest is 8 and half months old and hes been teething constantly for the last 5 weeks and has got 4 teeth to show for it, and i wish that he would stop for a little bit, im shattered and i cant bear to see him in pain.

as far as im aware this is perfectly normal what your son is going through, so i wouldn't worry too much, just enjoy the non-teething period!

also, just a little personal advice, bonjela and calpol are great for teething but i also use a herbal powder called ashtons and parsons, you just put it in their mouths and it really helps! you can get it from healthy living shops.  

Answer 5

That is very normal. Here is a list of average ages of teeth growing.

6-7 months - Two central bottom & Two central top teeth.

7-9 months - Top & bottom; making four top & four bottom teeth in all.

10-14 months - Double teeth for chewing

15-18 months - The pointed teeth or “fangs”

2-3 years - The second set of double teeth at the back

I hope this helps.

Answer 6

This is interesting for me.

My son is 5 months and he got 2 teeth within two days of eachother AT his 4 month check up.  It has been a month and I was wondering where the rest of teeth are!
