POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. It's not uncommon for some babies to start teething later than others. Most babies begin to teeth between 4 and 7 months, but it can vary widely. Here are a few points to consider:
Teething Timeline:
Normal Range: Some babies may not start teething until after their first birthday, and that's usually still considered normal.
Genetics: Teething can be influenced by genetics, so if you or other family members had late teeth, your baby might too.
Signs of Teething:
While your baby may not have teeth yet, watch for signs such as:
Increased drooling
Chewing on objects
Irritability or fussiness
Swollen gums
What to Do:
1. Gum Care: Gently rub your baby's gums with a clean finger or a damp cloth to soothe discomfort.
2. Teething Toys: Offer safe teething toys that can be chilled in the refrigerator to provide relief.
3. Consult Your Pediatrician: If you're concerned about your baby's lack of teething or if there are other symptoms, it's a good idea to discuss this with your pediatrician.
As long as your baby is developing normally and reaching other milestones, there’s typically no cause for concern.
