His got his lower teeth by 5 months of age. and from then, he got only one upper tooth. The other is swollen and he cannot stop touching it with his tongue. What can i do to help him get soothed. Do teeth always come in pairs or is it normal to get one? what should i do about the other tooth?

every baby is different when teeth come in. my son got 2 or 3 teeth in at a time. to help the pain i gave my son a cold wash cloth to chew on, or the teething cookies, they are messy but they make for cute pictures to have has memories. any teething ring would work too, if you can find the beaded ones, they are heaven sent. let your baby work the teeth out him self. he will be fine. if you can see he is hurting put oral gel on his gums and tylenol works good too, the infant drops.

Your baby is fine. My daughter is 9 1/2 months and has 3 lower and 1 upper tooth. Its normal as long as their teeth come in.

I think this sounds fine. Babies get teeth at very different ages. My son just turned 7 months yesterday and he has 4 teeth. He got his 2 lower front teeth at about 5 months, about two weeks apart. He got his top front teeth just this week; he got those 2 about 3 days apart. Just be patient and give him some teething tablets or orajel (or both) to sooth him until the other one breaks through.

it is totally normal. my son got his first tooth at 6 months 1 down the bottom. now he is 12 months and he has 8 teeth 4 up top 4 down bottom.
you can buy a soothing gel for teething. or maybe a teething toy for him to bite on.
their might even be a medicine considered safe for him to ease the pain a little. its normal for him to use his tongue to sooth it him self my son does that too!
dont worry about how many come up or in what order they just come when they are ready!
good luck

Your baby is doing great! My daughter is 18 months and she has 2 upper teeth and 2 lower teeth. It was only a few days ago that her other teeth seem to be sprouting out.
Every baby has a different teething experience. Try the cold teething toy so that he can bite that to soothe any discomfort. Sometimes you can even find teething biscuits for him to gnaw at.
Good luck!

It is all normal.
My daughter just hit 10 months. She has 2 upper, 2 lower, and her 2 eye teeth are just now breaking through. They always came in one at a time....except these eye teeth.
Your baby is right where he should be.

Hello,
With my twin girls, they both got their two front lower teeth in at the same time when they were 7 months old. Just ths past month, my twins got their two front teeth and one of my twins is getting a third tooth coming down.
My twins were born at 32 weeks so some of their milestones are probably a month behind their counterparts.
Hope this helps you................................. : - O

All babies are different. My son is nine months and he only has one baby tooth coming from the bottom gums.
