DD will be 11 months on Wednesday and still hasn't gotten a tooth. Everyone keeps telling me they are all going to come in at once which seems really terrible and painful. Anyone else in the same boat? She seemed to start teething months ago and I feel them in the gums but nothing has popped yet. I'm always nervous giving her small bites of food even though she seems to be ok with it
Re: No teeth
I do still just give her purées. I spoke with my pediatrician. I asked about fixing her thicker foods and she told me no because she still is just swallowing it. I guess you have to do what your comfortable with, and purées is it for us.
Anyway, my daughter is 11 months and got 4 teeth within the last month. Seems like 2 more are making their way. They're coming in twos. Some nights are rough but generally she's been her happy self. Some whiny-ness here or there but plenty of laughs and smiles. I haven't even given her any medicine. Don't stress.
Shes now strictly on finger foods unless we're out somewhere on a day trip. She was getting plenty of finger foods and doing well even before her teeth. Pediatrician was on board.

In terms of food though, she doesn't have any problems "gumming" her food! She loves banana chunks (I use the Nuby Nibblers for those-like a mesh bag type deal), puffys, pasta, cooked vegetables, bread, etc. We just make sure the pieces are small enough for her to handle!

Anyway Due with #2 (that and now staying at home) brought me back and I wanted to check in on this board. Neat to see ppl still active!
DS 11 mo next Monday still has no teeth. I've heard contrary to what you have in that the later the better for them coming in. They are so active at this age that it's not their sole focus. Maybe that's just someone trying to sugar coat what's to come?
As far as food goes we do a combo of BLW and purees and DS does great with everything. Hasn't met a food he doesn't like. Like @Kayciejoe56 we now order kids meals for DS when we go out.

my daughter is the same age and still none. I swear sometimes I see something, but obviously I'm just crazy because she hasn't had a single tooth pop out!
