   Oh gosh, I know exactly what you mean. My baby is 14 months now and still struggling with those pairs. All the symptoms, you name it - he’s got it. Cranky, in pain, can’t sleep at night, no appetite, diarrhea. Oh man, it’s tough to see him suffering, my poor baby.

   My baby girl is almost 17 months old and still has only 6 teeth, first 3 sets. What the heck is going on?

   And my son recently at 17 months produced teeth that were supposed to erupt between 18 and 24. I was totally blown away when I accidentally discovered them. Go figure!

   I have also gone through everything you are all saying. My parents said back in their day they used whiskey to help with the discomfort..lol any kind of toothache or pain is one of the worst things for anyone to go through

   This is a nice guideline, but every child is different and on a different time table. I have 13 month old twins (boy/girl). My little boy got his first 2 bottom teeth at 5 months and then no more until 11 months, now at 13 months getting his first top moler when still missing one of his bottom 4. My little girl didn’t have any teeth until 11 months. At 13 months she 2 on top and 3 on the bottom. They get really cranky and feverish when cutting new teeth. Can last 3-5 days.

   My 16 month old boy had a lot of teeth right away then slowed down and he got his back molars already and now we are waiting for his K-9 teeth(I teeth) and he is not a happy kid right now. My son already has 14 or 16 teeth right now. He is in alot of pain but I love him.

   Hi Frank,
   So sorry your poor baby is suffering :( Ice lollies are helpful, did you try them? If you don’t want to buy anything with artificial flavors you can make your own.

   Hi, my son is 7 months old and has his first pair through, but i have just noticed that he has a third tooth, which is also on the bottom. Does this happen often?

    Hi Jessica, I haven’t seen this happen myself for any of my friend’s babies :) I guess he is special!

    Hey everybody :)
    my little son now is 10months but he hasnt had any tooth yet. Is there something wrong? or is there any kind of way to make the teeth grow faster -like chewing training or something~~

    I’ve read in many books that babies don’t need teeth to chew, they are using their gums, so even if he has no teeth he’ll be able to eat solid food. Don’t stress, he’ll cut the teeth when he’s ready :)
