As mentioned above, the teeth are in the gums, so the gums are pretty hard. The front teeth are only for biting into things, and I cut everything into small pieces because of choking concerns (I would have even with more teeth). Late teethers do tend to lose their teeth late. It is actually better for the teeth to come in late - less opportunity for cavities. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827194 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 21:29:40 +0000 Clementine12 2827194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad to hear this is all normal. For now, I guess I can appreciate how cute she is with just the 2 teeth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827162 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 19:06:29 +0000 lamariniere 2827162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my LOs were late teethers. My DS got his 1st tooth a week before his birthday. My DD got 2 teeth around 10 months. Both of them only had about 8 teeth by 18 months. Dentists were never concerned. Now, my son is 7, and has still only lost 1 tooth, whereas most of his peers have lost many! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827120 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 15:06:05 +0000 superkate 2827120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is on the slow end with his teeth. He just turned 2 and currently has 12 (still needs all canines and two-year molars). He did not get his first two until 10 months. </p> <p>He went to the dentist at 15 months with only six teeth and the dentist said it's normal for some children to be a little slower. I know I was the same way (got my first teeth at 12 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827094 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 13:10:17 +0000 Mrs D 2827094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: I think it certainly can be. DD2 got her first 2 or 3 teeth at about 9 mos, then got no more for about 6 mos, she now has almost all at 2yo. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827087 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 13:00:33 +0000 kayla0416 2827087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our experience was very similar to yours so far! First two at 9 months, then nothing til 13 months. Then she got all the rest through 1-yr molars between 13-17 months. It was kind of crazy. She's now 25 months and just got both of her bottom 2-yr molars. </p> <p>And we also have a 6-month old with no teeth yet. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827080 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 12:13:54 +0000 snowjewelz 2827080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first was on a fast track and she definitely pretty had most teeth at her 18 month dentist appointment.</p> <p>My 2nd was much slow like yours. At 17 mo she is def still teething and working on molars. We are not taking her to the dentist at 18 mo cuz she just doesn't have that many teeth! Prob will take her at 2 along with her sister's bi-annual check up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827073 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 11:46:37 +0000 KT326 2827073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Clementine12: kids can eat a lot more than you think without teeth! Our pediatrician told us as long as you can mash it between your thumb and forefinger they can eat it. The teeth are right under the gums so the gums are pretty hard and can be used for chewing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827066 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 11:37:31 +0000 Clementine12 2827066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: oh my gosh! Shark for sure. That's the complete opposite of my experience so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827064 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 11:34:45 +0000 Clementine12 2827064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs D: my little brother got his first teeth at 18 months (I have no idea how my mom fed him that long with nothing chewable!). I guess I'm wondering if the time gap between teeth is normal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827062 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 11:32:45 +0000 Sams Mom 2827062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My child is part shark and had 4 teeth at 4 months, and something like 14 or 18 at 1 year. My friend's kid didn't get his first 2 until 10 months or something like that and was slow going getting more, but it hasn't caused any problems for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827059 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 11:25:35 +0000 Mrs D 2827059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my girls had totally different schedules. Our ped said his one son got his first tooth at 13 months...he was not at all concerned when our 12 mos old only had 2 teeth.</p> <p>I wouldnt sweat it. FWIW - my daughter who got teeth slowest was a way better chewer than my first! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-teething#post-2827054 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 11:10:51 +0000 Clementine12 2827054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter got her first two teeth in January, at 8ish months. She's almost 13 months now and despite a few miserable days where I really thought the next teeth were imminent - nada. I can't see tooth buds when I look at her gums (but it's hard to get a good look!) The doc seemed surprised at this at her 1 yr appt.</p> <p>What did your kid's teeth-growing schedule look like? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/raspy-voice-9-month-old#post-2811078 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 13:08:58 +0000 cake2017 2811078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will keep an eye on it and call doc!

He just had his check up and went great. Doc said more teeth is coming through. At that time, he did not have a raspy voice. I noticed on Saturday the change. Is this something to worry about or normal for teething? TIA </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-illnessesteething-throw-sleep-training-out-the-window#post-2719260 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 01:03:53 +0000 AggieDaze 2719260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of. For us, it Wasn't at all comparable to initial sleep training... but there have been bouts where he's cried more at bedtime or naptime and typically they correlate with not feeling well or getting over something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-illnessesteething-throw-sleep-training-out-the-window#post-2718956 Sat, 01 Apr 2017 09:43:06 +0000 LCTBQE 2718956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: hi there, I was googling and found this--can you tell me what you guys ended up doing? Posted another thread on this just now and tried to tag you, but another bee alerted me that you wouldn't see it. Anyway, did you end up having to re-train? Or any tips would be much appreciated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklace-worth-it#post-2326052 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:40:12 +0000 MrsBrewer 2326052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: gotcha I get the one bead choking hazard.

Also, it's possible the necklace gets caught on something or twisted, posing a strangulation risk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklace-worth-it#post-2326009 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:17:25 +0000 MrsBrewer 2326009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get why you guys are saying its a choking hazard. The necklace I bought has each bead tied on there individually so if the necklace breaks, the beams won't just spill all over the place </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklace-worth-it#post-2326005 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:14:14 +0000 MrsBrewer 2326005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use one for LO and love it!

My SIL swore by the one she used for our nephew &amp; a fellow church mom also swears it has helped her daughter through teething. We did buy one &amp; are using during the day, but I don't know if we are/will know the difference since babies have such varied teething experiences &amp; she's our 1st. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklace-worth-it#post-2319135 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 09:51:47 +0000 winniebee 2319135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: Intersting article! Our pediatrician recently told me there's no evidence that teething causes night wakings or even pain. </p> <p>I have to say that with our first, the only time I think teething actually caused pain was molars. He legit stopped eating for a week and randomly woke at night for a week and then stopped once they were through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklace-worth-it#post-2318374 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:29:42 +0000 nana87 2318374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never used an amber one, but my lo likes chewbeads. she uses it more now that she's older. I sometimes wear them but I use it more attached to her stroller, she chews on it while we're out and about </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklace-worth-it#post-2318361 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:20:18 +0000 FaithFertility 2318361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was given one and let her wear it during the day, I honesty didnt see any help and I was always worried.....we gave it up, glad I didn't buy one </p>
