POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. It’s completely normal for some babies to get their first teeth later, even after their first birthday. Some babies may start teething as late as 15–18 months.
Possible Reasons for Late Teething: Genetics – If you or close family members had late teething, your baby might follow the same pattern. Nutritional Deficiency – Lack of calcium, vitamin D, or phosphorus can delay teething. Low Birth Weight or Prematurity – Premature babies may have delayed milestones, including teething. Hypothyroidism or Other Medical Conditions – Rare but possible reasons for delayed teething. What Can You Do? Ensure a Calcium-Rich Diet – Include dairy products (curd, paneer, cheese), ragi, sesame seeds, and leafy greens in your baby’s meals. Expose to Sunlight – Helps in natural vitamin D absorption, crucial for teeth development. Massage the Baby’s Gums – Gently rub the gums with a clean finger or a soft silicone teether. Consult a Pediatrician – If no teeth appear after 15 months, check for underlying issues.
Late teething isn’t a major concern if your baby is otherwise growing well. Is your baby eating properly and meeting other milestones?
