First tooth
I am just enquiring my friend has an almost 12 month old and she hasnt cut her first tooth. They see them coming but then they disappear again is this normal for a baby? One doctor has said about possibly cutting the gums but then a couple of other doctors have said to just leave it they will come through. She is not sure what to do?
She would love to get some help from people! Thanks

OMG I cant believe any doctor would suggest cutting the gum! That's nuts! My daughter got her first tooth just before her 1st Birthday. She has since gotten another three teeth in three weeks! Her twin brother has seven teeth! He has had more time in between each new tooth. Every child is different, your friend should saviour her teething free days for as long as she can! Wish her luck
