How old are babies when they first start to cut teeth?

Question

My son is 2 1/2 mo. old and is starting to drool ALOT and seams to be more fussy than normal.

Answer 1

My baby is 7 months and just cut her first tooth.  

Answer 2

While rare, some babies are born with teeth. Usually it starts around 6-8 months, but I imagine it can happen any time. I have twins and my son cut teeth around 7 months, but my daughter didn't get her first tooth until a week before her first birthday. We had one child cut her first tooth at four months at our daycare. It is possible that your child could be cutting teeth now.

Answer 3

Completely normal!! Babies can teeth from 1 month or even from when there born! its not as common but between the age on being born to 12 months old they can cut teeth at any time. and some kids dont cut their first tooth till there about 1 anyways. Also babies can teeth for a while before his first tooth comes up. My daughter started teething at 4 months and got her first tooth at about 7 and a half months. x x  

Answer 4

the first baby teeth are the lower incisors which come in around 6-10 months.  This is just a range.  Teeth at birth are usually called enamel pearls.

Answer 5

Some babies are born with teeth, and some babies dont cut their first tooth until 10 months. Just remember that alot more is happening under the gums than the eye can see,  

Answer 6

My little boy started drooling alot around that time,too. But he just in the past week has cut his 2 bottom front teeth and he's 6.5 mo. old.  

Answer 7

There is no "right" time, I was born with my first tooth, my son had his first at 13 weeks, but my husband didn't have any until 7 months...your baby is probably getting ready to have his first tooth break through, good luck!

Answer 8

My daughter started drooling around 3 months and would chew on her fist.  But she didn't cut he first tooth until 5 months.  The first one takes awhile to come through and it can start early.
