Almost 7mths and still no teeth?

[puppies]

My baby boy has still not cut a tooth yet, is their something I am doing wrong? All the other babies in his mothers group have toothy pegs... I give him rusks and he has all the symptoms of teething but the top gum feels harder than the bottom....

It shouldn't be too long now hun. There is no set time for the first tooth to come through. Most babies do get the first tooth at around the 6 month mark, but some babies are born with teeth and others don't get the first one until after their 1st birthday. They are all different! So there is no need to worry!

Jaidan was 9.5 months when he got his first, then the next 2 weeks he got the other 3 and it was SOOO cute!
Ashton has only just got his top 2 as well, he got his bottom 2 at 7 months I think...
Enjoy that toothless grin, cos it looks so different when they have teeth (and with them comes the biting lol)

I was starting to worry about my DD too but she got her first 2 teeth at 9 months old. My cousin's baby is 12 months and she is still waiting

My DD1 was 13 months with her first tooth

dont fret too much, Bella only just cut her first tooth at 10months.

DS acted like he was teething from 3 months with lots of drool, red cheeks chewing everything etc but NO teeth till 11 months!!!! and thats all he has now

nope completely normal!! average for first teeth is 6 months but can be well after 12 months for some, nothing to worry about

ETA snap mel!

Don't stress some just don't cut their teeth for a while - DD1 didn't cut teeth until she was nearly one, and then cut four of them very quickly - and boy that was fun! But still had all the dribbling and chewing from about 6 months. My mum told me I also didn't get teeth until nearly 1 as well...

Cutting teeth is not a developmental milestone like sitting, crawling, walking, etc. My DS didn't get a tooth till he was about 11months and they came all out of order too. He started with one on the bottom and then got one on the top diagonally across, he looked a bit funny until more of them came through. And my DD is still all gums with no teeth in site.

Dont stress. My DD didnt get teeth til she was 12 months and DS was about 8 or 9 months. Myself I also didnt have any teeth til I was 12 months old.
