Babies: 6 - 9 Months

How long does it take for a dang tooth to break gum?!

I feel like it's been sitting in the same position for 5 days and DD's second tooth just won't break through and is causing her so much trouble! The first one just seemed to pop up one day!

Re: How long does it take for a dang tooth to break gum?!

  • I feel your pain.  A couple of DS's have been that way too.

  • At his six month appointment, DS's pediatrician said that his two bottom front teeth were so close to coming through that he's probably have teeth by the time I got him home.

    That was last Tuesday! Big Smile And he has had a major crank the past couple of nights.

  • I don't know! None of my LO's have come through yet! I feel like he's been teething for months. Also BTW, how do you know if nighttime problems are teething related? I'm just curious because we've had a really rough week and I'm wondering if it is teething.

  • My friend is having the same issue! Her DDs 2 bottom teeth have been bulging under the gum for weeks and wont break through!

    DD just got her first break through last week, I didn't know it was close to coming there were no signs of it just all of a sudden it really hurt when she chewed my finger lol

  • Seemed like DS chewed and drooled for over a month before the bottom two popped up around  5 months old.

  • I say so! My son seemed to be teething forever, and the pedi even said his teeth would come through any day, and we didn't seem them for a month! And that whole month was the worst sleep I've ever had... he was waking up 4 or 5 times a night. Ever since his second bottom tooth came through (a couple days after the first) he has been sleeping AMAZING. We had tried CIO while he was teething and it was a disaster, but the first night we tried it after the teeth came through, he didn't even cry when I put him down awake... just rolled over and went to sleep. It's been like that since. I can't say for sure the sleep and teething were related, but based on my experience, I'd say they were! Hang in there!
