Baby Teething – Teething Timeline

The teething process takes quite a bit of time.  The thought of that might have some mums reaching for the pain reliever for themselves, especially if baby is extra fussy right now. No need to worry though, it does get easier and is quite a milestone in baby development.  Before delving into the many other aspects of teething, let’s start with the basic teething timeline, or the order in which those new teeth will be arriving.  Remember, no two babies are alike so teething is different for every baby. The order of tooth succession will be generally predictable, but your baby will likely have her own teething timeline.

 Teething Timeline Starting Point

Teething generally begins around 6 months of age and lasts until age 2.  Some babies may start earlier, around 4 months, while other may not start teething until 6 or 7 months.  Teeth tend to come in two’s, but some babies can get several at once or just one at a time.  On average, teeth arrive at a rate of about 1 per month once the first tooth appears.  Just like everything else going on during the first 2 years, you can’t judge your baby’s progress by looking at others- save yourself the trouble and don’t even go there. Your baby will develop teeth when he is ready, and whether you’re ready or not.

 Here is the basic teething timeline:

  • 5-7 months: The first 2 central incisors (cutters), those cute front and center teeth, typically the bottoms ones arrive first shortly followed by the top
  • 8-9 months: the second set, on top of central incisors
  • 1 year: the two lateral upper incisors – right on either side of the 2 that arrived first for a grand total of about 6 teeth during the first year shortly followed by the bottom incisors

Pause: yes, thank goodness, both parents and baby may get a little teething break.

  • 13 months: the first molars erupt
  • 15-20 months: four canine teeth or eye teeth arrive between the molars and the central incisors
  • 2 years: these second set of molars are often called the 2 year molars as they tend to arrive between 24 and 26 months.

Does the act of feeding your child veggies cause havoc at the dinner table? Do you worry that your toddler will never have something green touch his or her lips?
Well, I have a little secret to share with you, something I learned from a little red person named Elmo and now my three year is actually asking for her veggies. Yep, that’s right, every night while I am cooking dinner my little one is requesting to be served spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, and carrots, sugar snap peas, cauliflower and whatever else I can pull out of the fridge. Please note, I am not sharing this with you as a dietitian preaching to get your kids to eat more greens, rather I am sharing this as a mother who has struggled some with getting her three year old to try new vegetables.
My secret is something Elmo likes to call “kukie faces”. What is a kukie face? Well, a kukie face is simply a face made with vegetables. A very basic concept and not at all hard to do, but sometimes we need to be reminded of ways to outsmart the little people in our house. No need to be “deceptive”; with kukie faces you can lay it all out there and watch as your child not only explores with his or her imagination, but also with his or her taste buds.
Here are the ingredients…
• Shredded lettuce
• Cherry tomatoes
• Sugar Snap Peas
• Baby Carrots
• Celery – sliced
• Edammame
• Purple Cabbage
• Bean Sprouts
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Red Bell Pepper, sliced
• Broccoli Slaw
• Shredded Cabbag
• Spinach leaves
• Hummus
• Guacamole
• Whole Wheat Tortilla
The great thing is with Kukie faces, there is no limit on what you can serve. Have fun, be creative, and encourage your child to explore new foods. On a final note, and this is coming from me as the “dietitian”, if your child does not like eating all the vegetables on his or her “kukie” face, don’t stress. The important thing is to expose new flavors, textures, and smells. If your little one is trying new vegetables but still not liking them, that is okay. Praise him or her for trying and keep on serving and encouraging exploring. One day you never know what they may be asking for.
