3 teeth questions

[trixipaws]

FINALLY, my little late-bloomer has something to show for all the screaming she been dong every nite this last week or 10 days or so- a tooth is (just about) visible! we could feel a scratchy bit on her bottom gum and when i finally got her to open her mouth and keep her tongue back i could see a tip of tooth the size of a grain of sugar!

firstly, when do i need to start cleaning it- now, or when the full tooth comes thru?

secondly, do i put 8 months on the teeth chart in her red book for that tooth, or again does it only count when u can see the whole top of it (not just a dot lol)?

finally, anyone else whose babies were as old as this before they got their first tooth? just wondered if the rest of the teeth come thru late too, or if they "catch up" and get all their teeth pretty much at once?

Lydia got her first 2 teeth at 7 months. I always counted it as soon as they broke through the gum a tiny bit.

Hiya hun,my two girls were late getting their teeth as well oldest dd first tooth at 13 months and youngest dd got her first tooth at 14 months.

As soon as they appear ive noted them in their red books.
Brushing youngest child teeth is a nightmare i have to let her bite on the toothbrush first before she lets me clean them .

I started brushing Libby's as soon as it came through to get her used to the routine of it.
