My six week old is getting her first tooth!?!?

Question

has any one else ever had their six week old get a tooth this young? is this normal to be teething this early?

Answer 1

My daughter got her first tooth at about 8 weeks, she is 16 months and already has her molars. Every child develops differently (if you are breastfeeding just be careful :-)).

Answer 2

As others have said not only is it normal to start teething that young but some children are born with teeth. (The wivestale is that if your child is born with teeth, he/she will be selfish.) You said she's getting her first tooth. Do you actually see it? My daughter started teething at about six weeks and didn't get her first tooth untill she was 9 months. She was a drooling mess for 7 1/2 months.

Answer 3

I know a lady who's baby was born with two teeth. She herself was also born with two teeh (or so her mom told her).

Is the tooth cutting through the gum already? My ds started teething at 2.5 mo but didn't acutally cut any teeth until 8 mo.

Answer 4

that's normal mine had teeth in at 2 months (2 teeth). look for baby oral jell. Anyways, she got all her teeth in early, she's 5 yrs old now. My son had 2 teeth by 4 months.The DR told me this is normal, babies get teeth at different times

Answer 5

No that's not normal what you need too do is call your pediatrician and there going to have to take it out its ok though dont worry babies grow teeth early all the time. But they will take it out.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
