Teething Order

Paris didn't get any teeth till 2 weeks before she turned one, she then got her 4 front ones, all her molars, and FInally.. ages later, she got her eye teeth.

Ayja didn't get any till about 14 months i think, she still only has the 4 front ones.. and that's all.

so nup, i wouldn't worry unless they are overly large or coming in weirdly.. there should still be plenty of room etc for her other ones, and as everyone knows, babies never do anything by the book, lol

Ah ha ! Just the thread I am after. How early is it possible for a babe to teethe? I know I've txt a couple of you ladies about this already, but Erin is still dribbling like a waterfall and constantly has her fists in her mouth - even when she has a full tummy. I'm not sure if there are any 'lumps' in there, feels fairly gummy to me, but then again since this is my first... how am I supposed to know? LOL Mind you, I'm totally open to the possibility (and high probability) that she has just "discovered" them and is so fascinated she just *has* to see what they taste like !

Jax i asked the plunket nurse about this about a month ago coz ella is the same and was doing it heaps (and still is) and she said they are at the right age to dribble like no tomorrow and also explore with their hands and munching on them. With the munching on the hands its stimulating the saliva glands making her dribble more.

Ella has jsut recently started dribbling with no hands in her mouth but i dont know if that is related to her reflux or her possibly teething.

Yep it is a developmental stage, for so long they could only wave hands about because they develop mastery over thing from the head down and the centre of the body out..   hence why walking comes much later than head control etc.. but now, she is learning to be able to co-ordinate bringing her hands up to her mouth, and holding them there, and wow it's nice.. babies LOVE to mouth things, it's their way of learning about everything.. from that they can see what it feels like as well as how it tastes!.. both mine were goobie goobers.. and didn't teeth for ages.

Ok well no offense to anybody (yes, even as a first time mum), but if it's not teething, then what the heck is wrong with her ?? *Something* has got to be up, because this baby is not my usual placid, cuddly, smiley Erin. Instead she's been replaced by a grumpy, tired, grizzly, dribble monster - and did I mention the fire engine cheeks ??

And if you couldn't already tell, it's making *me* grumpy too - so again I apologise, but I reckon there's a good chance of it being teething. Can't hurt to try and treat it even if it isn't, right ?

Everyone used to say Jack was teething and he got his first tooth last week. He didn't even get red cheeks or dribble that much when his teeth finally came. But if she is dribbling heaps watch out for dribble rash cos he did get that real bad when his teeth came.

Thanks Rach, I've been doing a bit of reading up and noticed that her chin seemed a bit red too so will keep an eye out.
