POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. It's completely normal for a 7-month-old baby to not have started teething yet. Teething timelines can vary widely among babies, with some starting as early as 4 months and others not getting their first tooth until closer to 12 months.
When to Expect Teething:
Most babies get their first tooth between 6 to 12 months, but some perfectly healthy babies start teething a bit later.
The lower front teeth (central incisors) usually come in first, followed by the upper front teeth.
Should You Worry?
There’s no need to worry at this stage. Every baby develops at their own pace, and delayed teething is usually not a sign of a problem.
You may notice signs of teething (such as drooling, fussiness, or biting) before any teeth actually emerge.
What You Can Do:
Provide Teething Relief: If your baby seems to be in discomfort from teething, you can offer teething toys, a cold washcloth to chew on, or massage her gums gently with a clean finger.
Nutrition: Continue offering a balanced diet, with breast milk or formula as the primary source of nutrition. Ensure she’s getting enough calcium and vitamin D, which are important for teeth development.
When to See a Doctor:
If no teeth have appeared by 18 months, it may be worth consulting a pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues, though this is rare.
For now, just keep an eye on her gums, and teeth will likely come soon!
