Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this - we got three teeth on the bottom and no teeth on top... we kept looking and looking at the top and then POP - three on the bottom! silly baby! I'm waiting for the top teeth to start some more solid like food - like puffs etc. She is 8 months old.

My daughter got two teeth on the bottom at ten months, then none until fifteen months.

If you think about it baby's chew with the back of their mouths, so the front teeth don't matter much anyways! My daughter was eating puffs by seven months, and she had absolutley no teeth! They dissolve with the slobber, and she had no shortage of that!

My son got his 2 bottom teeth at 8.5 months old and thats when we started the puffs. I used to break each of the points off and feed him...lol I left my Mom with him and when I came back she said she was feeding them to him whole. If you are nervous (like I was) you could give just break some pieces off...they really do just melt away like Jolene said. Oh and he didnt cut a top tooth until 11ish months old...but that still took a long time to come down.

The puffs and mum mums are great. I for some reason dont really worry that much about choking. Babies have a GREAT gag reflex so that they dont choke.
