My son lost his first baby tooth and I was wondering how much to leave under his pillow.

A couple bucks ($5 at most) for the 1st tooth, $1 every one thereafter. Don't get too cheap (or too expensive)--kids talk to other kids about that stuff.

I was living at home with my parents when my daughter lost her first tooth and before i could get in there my dad had slipped in and left a 20.00 bill under her pillow. So of course she expected that for the second but we explained to her it was a first tooth so that's why she got so much. Every tooth after that i left 1-3 dollars.
Of course years later i married and had a son and when he lost his first tooth she told him how much the tooth fairy left her for her first tooth and of course he was looking for the same. I couldn't let him not get the same as her so he got 20.00 for the first.
So be aware whatever your oldest gets they will tell their siblings and they will expect the same.
I was gonna leave 5.00

I am a teacher and have heard lots of tooth fairy stories. One family actually has the tooth fairy leave presents for each tooth lost.
Most get a dollar.
The others say five.
I think it all depends on what the parent has at the time!

I tend to leave my son about $5-7 when he loses a tooth...not sure if this is the going rate, but it's all that our tooth fairy leaves...lol.

Wow. There are a lot of very generous ppl on here. 50 cents is plenty. A couple bucks a tooth is ridiculous. They will expect more as they get older. Trust me.

I would say about $10 bucks now days.
Althoug if your child has many teeth falling out
at the same time do 10 bucks for the first one
and 5bucks for the next couple.
