Around 8 and 9 months, DS popped 7 of them pretty quickly. He had 7 teeth until he turned 1 about a week ago and he got a molar then. his mouth is very lopsided, tooth wise.
The crappy thing about the delay in teething is I was much more used to not getting sleep around 5-6 months old than I am now. So if he decides to eff up my world and start sleeping bad I am going to feel like I got hit with a mack truck all over again. Silly babies
Also I am starting to feel like I have that disorder where you make up illnesses for your kids lol. Leo rarely cries so last night for example, he starts screaming bloody murder and trying to chew on his wash cloth from bath. I think "Ooooh boy this is it. The teeth are coming in" and radio silence on the tooth front. I have been dosing him up with motrin and using hyland tablets on an off for a good month now lol. I sort of feel crazy for even saying I think he is teething because I have been saying that for a long time now.

I was wondering this today too. My kid is 7 mos, and doesn't have one yet. I think babies are cuter with gummy smiles, so I'm hoping he doesn't have one for his pro pics in a few weeks. I'm vain.
I did this for awhile, but then gave up on the tylenol after no teeth bothered to show up for weeks on end. My SIL, who is a pediatrician, has been saying that her bottom teeth are coming in "any day now" for the last 6 months, so don't feel bad.

Don't feel crazy Eddy. I was convinced a tooth was popping through any minute from like 3 months on. I finally mentioned it to our pediatrician and he said that every time the tooth moves up a bit, it hurts them and they can chew on things, drool, etc to relieve the pain. He said it can go on like that for a loooong time before you ever see a tooth pop through. Made me feel less nutty as he truly was showing teething behaviors for months before we ever saw a pearly white.

I kept doing this, too. I blamed anything and everything on teething. Feels a little warm? Teething. Wakes up at night? Teething. Fussy? Must be a tooth. When his bottom tooth finally did come in there was really no symptoms. It was a complete surprise when I looked in his mouth and saw the tooth had broken through.
Also, uuuuh what does it look like when the teeth are close to coming in? His gums are completely white on the bottom. But no bumps. Am I crazy or is that something?

I've been doing this for months. We are at 10.5 months and neither one has any teeth! The pedi said she thought she felt one coming in at their 6 month appt. so I've been blaming teething for all crankiness and bad nights since.

Glad it helps!
I only saw a white bump on J's gums for the bottom 2 teeth. Other than that, things would just get puffy and then a tooth would eventually pop through.
I swear DD's keep popping up like they're going to break through and then disappearing. She's been working on it for a month now and still nothing (she's 6.5 months).
