My son is going to be 10 months old on Aug 19th but he's yet to cut a tooth... I took him to the dentist because I was concerned and she said mother nature sometimes messes with our heads and said it was ok.. Wait until she's a year old then take her to the dentist and see what they say now

Hi. My little boy has 8 teeth already, so I haven't had that problem, but my niece was 12 months old when she got her 1st tooth. She ate all the same foods as all other kids of her age including biscuits etc with no problem. I wouldn't worry. They'll come when they come.

My oldest didn't get teeth till 2 weeks b4 her 1st birthday. Don't worry. Anna started getting hers in July and now i keep seeing more & more but she's been teething since she was 4 mo.

My daughter is also going to be 10 months and with no teeth at all. She also has been teething for months. In a way I am kind of glad because I am also still breastfeeding.

Hello, all
I wanted to share this with you. My daughter was/is in the same boat as many of your babies. I asked the question of her ped at her 9month visit. The doc said not to worry...those teeth don't even help them chew. We chew with our molars...which I've also heard are the most awfully painful when they come in. Not to worry, the teeth will come.

Several of my kids were later teethers. In fact 1 of my twins didnt have any teeth till she was 20 months! She only had 2 by their 2nd birthday. As long as your ped, isnt worried , relax & enjoy those gummy smiles abit longer.

As a baby i didnt get teeth until i was 12 months. My son started teething a couple of months before he started getting teeth. Hes 10 months this month and just started getting his teeth last month.

Every baby is different, definitely! My lil one is 9 and a half months old and he has 4 teeth, with 2 more about to break the surface. My cousin's lil girl is a few weeks older and has no teeth. No big deal, they'll come soon enough!

My baby (10 months on the 10th) doesn't have any teeth yet either, and I swear she's been teething since 4 months! Just be patient! They'll come! I have a friend whose baby didn't get any teeth until 13months! They WILL come :) In their own time...

Jackie - posted on 08/08/2010

No teeth here - at 9.5 months. There is no sign of them coming any time soon either. I'm not worried about it at all. As for food she manages to eat lots of unmashed foods - biscuits, toast/bread, cruskits, rice cakes, cheese sticks, veggies, banana, scrambled egg etc. It's amazing what they can chew/bite without teeth.

yea my boy teething just no teeth yet

Sharon - posted on 08/08/2010

my baby seemed to be teething for months also,then suddenly two bottom teeth appeared about a month ago,now it looks like a couple of top will be here soon....every baby is different,so dont worry about this.x

Rachel - posted on 08/07/2010

Well my first was 11.5 months before he had a tooth and this one is nearly 10 months nad nothing yet either...at least this means he's not biting me!

Angela - posted on 08/07/2010

No teeth here!! Ava will be 10 months this month. Doctor said it's perfectly normal - she might just get a bunch all at once........and he said good luck with that! LOL

Carrie - posted on 08/06/2010

Kim - posted on 08/06/2010

my daughter turned 10 months yesterday and still no teeth. She has been teething since she was about 3 mos old and nothing yet! I've heard the longer they take to come through the stronger they will be. Not sure how much truth is in that but..... ya never know

Kelly - posted on 08/06/2010

My lil girl doesn't have any teeth yet. She will be 10 months on the 29th. She seems to be teething for a long time now, but nothing has popped out yet. Hopefully our girls will start getting their teeth soon!

Jessica - posted on 08/06/2010

Thanks alot for all the great ideas for what i can feed my son..We are going to get started on our new eating adventures today!

Donna - posted on 08/06/2010

My son will be 10 months on the 15th, and he does not have any yet either. Believe me - I have thought for the past 3 months he was teething haha.. Everything in the mouth including his hands, and drool like crazy ~

Tamara - posted on 08/06/2010

Hi my daughter is 9 months and no teeth yet I thought I was alone

Karen - posted on 08/06/2010

my little girl has no teeth yet, but has been teething for 6 months! Swollen gums, no teeth through... I read that even with babies who don't start teething till later on, they still get them all through by around 2 1/2years, so it all just over with quicker!

Amy - posted on 08/05/2010

My daughter was 9 months on the 27th and she still hasn't gotten a tooth. She has acted like she was teething since about 4 months but nothing yet. There are days where she is drooling like crazy and then a long stretch of nothing.

Sheena - posted on 08/05/2010

What a very helpful post !!! my dd is 10 months old has shown signs of teething since 5 months and nothing I can see them just hiding below her gums, and my niece who is 2 weeks younger no teeth either I wouldnt worry the longer they stay in those gums the better I hear anyways : ) she manages quite fine eating without teeth and biting , kinda glad she has no teeth as Im still nursing : )

Lisa - posted on 08/05/2010

just a quick update for you, after nearly eight months of teething pains, drooling and chewing on absolutely everything, Kaitlin has a tooth bud showing this morning, and we give her the same food we eat, just make sure everything is cooked until it's soft enough to gum through

Arianne - posted on 08/04/2010

My son doesn't either! && I was really worried, but the doctor said that I shouldn't worry until after he's a year. So i'm watching && waiting.

Anika - posted on 08/04/2010

Um, might be a bit hard because we live in different countries but I'll try. unmashed banana, slices of avocado, we have crispbread here called cruskits, do you know what I mean by that? Its like a long puffed cracker made of corn and they soften when you suck on them. Um, soft or thinly cut meat like ham or sausages. Flaky fish. Mandarins segments, peas, grated cheese, well cooked carrot, brocolli and cauliflower and pasta. Does that help? Their gums are tougher than you think and given time and supervision, they can chew quite a lot. I wouldn't give tough meat or crackers, raisins or any other dried fruit, apple (unless cooked) or pears (or similarly hard fruit), but other things should be ok. I'm not too sure about bread though, i need to try my daughter with that. Hope that helps :)

Tricia - posted on 08/04/2010

When my son was 1 with still no teeth I would give him cooked potatoes, cooked carrots, any cooked vegetable cut into cubes that he could mash with his gums. Even cooked peas he could do. Small cubes of cheese. Banana, cooked apple, chopped up slices of peaches. Fish is easy since it's so flakey. He did okay with cooked ground meat, and pasta cut into very small pieces. He ate lots of yogurt.
Maybe that will help?

Jessica - posted on 08/04/2010

Could you give me some examples of some things i could feed my son..?

Anika - posted on 08/04/2010

My daughter also has no teeth. I asked the plunket nurse (baby nurses in NZ) and she said to still give her food which isn't mashed. Obviously not really hard things like a cracker but anything that softens with saliva or that you can push into the roof of your mouth with your tongue.

Jessica - posted on 08/04/2010

My son is 10 months old and has no teeth at all..none are even visible..It kind of sucks cause i still cant give him anything but mashed baby food still

My mom has told me that both my sister and I didnt get our teeth until after a year. My boy was born Oct 20, he's just over 9 mos, he's been teething for three or four months now. They're just barely coming to the surface. They move up and down and can take awhile. Just be patient!! Cold wet wash cloths in the freezer are nice to chew on for them.

Tricia - posted on 08/04/2010

My oldest son did not get his first tooth until he was 15 months old! He's 2 1/2 now and just got his last tooth! My little guy is nearly 10 months old and has no teeth, but I'm not worried since my other didn't get his teeth until late. It's not a big deal, just inconvenient since it makes eating "big people food" a challenge. Don't worry too much, it's not as uncommon as you think!

Danielle - posted on 08/04/2010

My son is almost 10 months old & he still has no teeth. My brother did not get teeth until 10 months, my sister got them right on time & I was in between at about 7-8 months. I have NEVER hear of children going until 2 to have teeth...I don't think that's the truth. However, they will come in their own time. I do know a girl who's canine teeth did not come in & she wore a special retainer that had fake canine teeth in it. I thought it was pretty neat.

Margie - posted on 08/04/2010

my little girl no teeth yet will be 10 months in a week. gotta love the pre teeth drool though.

Christina - posted on 08/03/2010

My second son is 9 months old now, and he has (almost) two teeth. Neither tooth is all the way out yet. He's been teething for months too! Poor lil guy!

Michelle - posted on 08/03/2010

my little boy is ten months old and has no teeth yet im sure it will come i just cant wait

Anika - posted on 08/03/2010

That's the most annoying part aye Lisa! My daughter seems to have been teething on and off for the last 5 months! Sometimes it's like a tap has been turned on in her mouth, she drools SO much and then nothing comes of it. Ah well, one day they'll make an appearance.

Lisa - posted on 08/03/2010

My daughter will be 10 months next week and still has that beautiful gummy smile, even though she has been showing signs of teething for the past 8 months!!

Michele - posted on 08/02/2010

My son is 9 months with no signs of teeth. My daughter got her first two at 7 months though. I'm not worried. I've heard the later the teeth come in, the better. Less time to let plaque or other issues develop. who knows???

Cecile - posted on 08/02/2010

My son just turned 10 months old and he still doesn't have any teeth either. My friend said his son didn't get teeth until he was 14 months old.

Angela - posted on 08/02/2010

No worries. My son will be 10 months on Wednesday and his 1st tooth is barely starting to cut. One of my best friend's son didn't get his first tooth until 12 months. I was speaking with my dental hygienist and she said the jaw actually has more time to grow so when teeth do start coming in they will likely be straighter. . .even if for a little while until their permanent ones come in.

Alicia - posted on 08/02/2010

My neighbor told me that when she was a baby, she didn't get any teeth until she was almost 2 years old. Every child is different. I've heard of many 10 month olds with no teeth yet.

Tina - posted on 07/31/2010

My little girl will be 10 months tomorrow and has not a signal tooth in her head! I don't Know what to do anymore i'm in the same position as you!

Keira just turned 9 months and still no teeth. She does have one that's one the verge, but still has yet to make an appearance.

Anika - posted on 07/30/2010

My daughter has no teeth and a friend at our playgroup born on the same day also has no teeth. She started showing teething signs at 4 months but 5 months later, NOTHING.
