My DS has been the same for ages, probably since about 3 months and he has had two teeth pop through within the last couple of weeks. He's now 6 months.
I think they can teeth for AGES before teeth come through ay - my DS still seems grumpy sometimes and I wonder when the next two are going to pop through. |

DD got her first one about 1 1/2 months ago after an age of dribbling! Now has her top two coming through and her other bottom one - so all quite quickly after nothing. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My boys teethed quickly.
Jack cut his first tooth at 5mths (no dribbling prior) and cut all his 2yr old by about 23mths Ben started dribbling at about 6mths, cut the first a few weeks later and is now cutting his first 2yr old at 16.5mths Some babies show signs for ages before the teeth pop through ------------- Lindsey

My son got his first at 6 months. He was a VERY dribbly baby for a long time.
My daughter got her first at 5 months and has 8 teeth now. At around the age my daughter is now (well at 12 months) my son had 8 teeth too. It's funny though coz he only had one tooth from 6-8 months then suddenly got heaps. My girl hasn't had any new ones through for ages so i'm guessing she's due for more any day now. She used to dribble quite a bit but not as much as her brother did and she's not a huge dribbler now. -------------

At 4-6 months old most babies actually begin a developmental phase where they want to use their mouth to explore their environment as well as their hands / ears / eyes etc, which is often confused with or starts at the same time as teething.
That said, my DD1 started showing 'signs' at 4 months and had her first tooth at 8 months, but DD2 on the other hand didn't cut her first teeth until 13.5 months and did three molars at once... and nothing since! (Edited to add: she is 15.5 months old now) ------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels.

Lily is 9 months (next sat) and still no teeth! 
Been dribbing like mad from 3-4 months but nothing. She's had white buds and sometimes it looks like it's going to come through but then it disappears and heals again! I teethed at 6 months and lost all my baby teeth early, DP teethed late and didn't lose his first baby tooth until he was 12-13 (years) lmao! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I've heard the later they teeth the better condition their teeth are in which I tend to believe because I lost my first baby tooth by 3 and dp at 13 and his teeth are so much nicer than mine! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

K got her first teeth at about 4 1/2 mths with maybe a cpl of weeks of teething signs. She got her bottom 2 within the week. Since then she has had the odd day of teething signs (her left cheek goes bright red) but no more teeth, shes now almost 7 mths old. ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Both girls got their first tooth at 5 months old, and now at 15 months old, Amber has 12 teeth with another 2 coming through, and Jade has 10 with 1 more coming through. Amber wouldn't get any for ages, then a whole heap would come through (4 molars at the same time  ) but Jade gets hers one at a time.

Tyler got his first at 6 months (the two bottom teeth) and at 8 months he had 8 teeth! Poor thing! But he was showing signs from about 3 months onwards (although in saying that he still manages to dribble everywhere and he has just turned one lol) I have a friend whos bub is 15 months and he only has 2 teeth and has been having all the signs for ages too ------------- http://lilypie.com">

DD got her two bottom teeth around 7 months, top two are just starting to pop through now, I thought she wouldn't get any teeth for ages since mine were so long coming through when I was a baby. She is not a really dribbly baby but her nose goes really runny when she is teething. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

PF - we're exactly the same as you. DS has had lots of dribbling, rubbing gums for months now, but no teeth yet! ------------- [IMG]http://lb3f.lilypie.com/rGG7p13.png] |

UGH Trudz isn't taking forever!!!! DS was not a dribbly boy, and didn't shove stuff in his mouth. He got his fist tooth at 6.5 months and all the rest before he turned 2. Just lately I've noticed he's been VERY dribbly. 8 months DD is still dribbly as ever and still no teeth. I dont mind there not here cause i'm BFing (DS was FF) bt then again how do you eat food without teeth. ------------- Sarah Mum to, Boy 07/2008, Girl 03/2010, Boy 05/2012, Angel  07/08/2014

DD got her first one at 5 months, then the next one a week later. No dribbling, no red cheeks, no pain, nothing, they came through with no fuss! Her incisors on the top are looking like they might come soon, but who knows? -------------

Gum it. If it's soft enough they'll mush it against the roof of their mouth but you definitely don't need teeth to eat. What a laugh. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

DS was 7 1/2 months when his first two popped through and by 9 months he had 6 teeth, so they must have all been slowly growing beneath the surface all that time and then pop! pop! pop! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

DS was constantly dribbling and had a red bum and red cheeks on and off from about 3 months, but didn't get his first tooth until 6months. Now at 10months he has just got his third. I can see about 3 or 4 more teeth just sitting under the gums though so they probably won't be too far away either. The tell tale sign of an impending tooth in our house is a runny nose. The day before and day of a tooth cutting DS's nose runs like a tap. -------------

DD got her 1st tooth two days before her 1st birthday, her 2nd tooth at 13months, and her 3rd tooth at 20months. And that's as far as we've got so far 
She still eats like a horse (a very slow horse lol) and eats what we eat with no problems ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

My little girl got a really bad cold at 4 mths, after that went we had 2 "normal" weeks before the runny nose started and then 2 weeks after that a tooth. 10 days later the second came through. So 51/2 mths for us and I'm sure there are more waiting to rare their heads. -------------
