    Order of teeth...

    DS had two teeth on bottom come up, now his top two - but its like he's getting fangs, not the first top two, but next to those....

    My DS is the same - the incisors.
    It's different to "the norm" but they're all the ones they tend to get before 12 months so not a big deal. Different if they were getting molars lol!

    Jack hasn't got any teeth yet, but has big lumps where his upper incisors are....I know they are not spose to come till later...will be very interesting to see what happens. How weird would that look, LOL. He'd look like Dracula if he got those first.

    Cross-cutting (getting teeth out of order) is pretty common. Poor DS1 got molars very early on in the process. Apparently DH did too, I blame his dodgy genes LOL!

    Actually, there's 8 incisors, and they are the ones that erupt first. Generally speaking, the two lower front ones come first, then the two upper front, then the side upper and the side lower ones. Usually the first molars will erupt after that, but yes, sometimes the canines will come through beforehand. Teeth can come in any order (cross cutting), and there's nothing you can do about it, and no reason to be concerned
