he will be teething soon. If you look at his gum line you will see the skin is a little bit lighter colored where the teeth will emerge.

As a mother of five every one of my children started teething at different times so as early as 3 months and some as late as 7 months. Trust me it will happen.

Oh goodness me no not at all. All children /babies are different there are no text book babies. Tell everyone else the teeth will be there when they are ready to be there and not before. By the way i have three children and their teeth came at all different ages.

I wouldn't worry every child is different. At 8 weeks my daughter starting teething (drooling, chewing, in pain, even had the bumps in her gums for them to start popping through anytime I thought)
Guess when her first tooth arrived.........................................8 months
There is no set time it happens when it happens
besides u don't want the extra crying I hated the fact that she would cry it litterally broke my heart cause they are so small and defenseless.

Not yet, I think people are jumping the gun a bit.
