Wow, I was just about to post a very similiar thread. My DD will be 1 in a few weeks, and she still doesn't have any teeth. I thought they were going to come through a couple of weeks ago when she had bad toxic runny poos, but no. They have been giving her grief since she was about 5 months old. Exactly like you said, they would come down, creating huge red whelps on her gums then a couple of days later, they would disappear. I just hope they come through soon!! Or she is going to be a bald, toothless little girl at her first birthday
