DD has her bottom tooth about to come through, there is a raised hard lump, I was wondering from here how long does it usually take to come through the gum??
Thanks! |

| It could be tomorrow, it could be next month, teeth are crazy wee things. Is there a sharp bit poking thru yet? Caprece had bumps for a good couple of months before they broke through but once there was a point they come up pretty quickly. |

Yep unfortunatly that is no indication at all! They can go up and down in the gums for ages too,..that lump might be gone tomorrow! And once its starts it doesnt stop,...or get any easier on them or you,..we are up to no.13

| Daniel had a lump for a few days and it went away for a couple of months, came back up and went back down and still doesn't have that particular tooth 4 months later |

I reccomend teething powder - if you can get your girl to take it, it is much better for Lily than the bonjela! Especially when you move on to teeth other than the front 4. -------------

| We've been using weleda teething powder for a month or so and it has been great! Will keep using it for a while yet! |
