  • Its definitely not too early to start, but uncommon that one pops through that early! My little girl is showing signs of teething now 4.5 months, but i think itll be a while off, rosy cheeks, dribble and chewing anything and everyting is the signs we have!


  • My second got his first tooth at 3 months. Quite early but not uncommon.


  • Not at all lol. My boys were both early teethers. My first born was 4 weeks premi and had 2 teeth the day he turned 4 weeks old so he was meant to be born with 2 teeth! My 2nd son had 2 teeth when he was 6 weeks old. Generally the earlier they teeth the later the walk because of the off balance. Both my boys had their 2 year molers coming through around their 1st birthdays than had their whole set of teeth and started loosing their baby teeth at 4 yrs old.


  • All bubs are different. My sister was born with teeth! So teething at 11 weeks, while early, is not out of the question.


  • Babies can be born with teeth… The books etc say around 4 months but all babies are different. So 11 weeks your baby can get teeth


  • All babies are different with teething. Some are very “early” and other “late” and some are worth with teeth. So no, 11 weeks is not too early.


  • any time really, there are some babies born with teeth!


  • mine has started at three months


  • My little one started teething when she was 11 weeks old.


  • I’m sure my baby started teething from 2 or 3 months but I didn’t see teeth for a while. It could have been coming up from the gums


  • Teething can start at any time. it’s not uncommon for the teeth to start to show and then go back in the gums.


  • Its never o young for a kid to be teething, it also seems to last forever as soon as one is fully through the next starts moving its way through ..


  • Nope, my eldest got her first tooth at 11 weeks (bad mother that I am wasn’t even the first to notice it, my mother-in-law was) – my youngest got her first tooth at about 13 weeks


  • No teeth can come through at any time, my husband was born with two teeth!
    I hope your bubbas is coping alright. :-)


  • I have a 12 week old baby and she is teething. It breaks my heart to see my so little one to be uncomfortable. Much earlier than my other daughter.


  • Teeth can come through at any time. Sometimes babies are born with teeth, leading to feeding problems and inhalation risk. Anytime after a year before the first teeth come through is too long and should be checked out.

    Usually teething, where the get fussy, cranky and feverish, occurs at 6 months. The teeth usually get blamed, as this is the normal time they come through. They are actually developing their immune system at this age, losing the immunity they got from mum at birth. This happens even if the teeth come early or late.


  • No, its not too young. The midwife actually checked all my children when they were born to see if they had any teeth. Apparently some babies are actually born with teeth. Anywhere from new born to 18 months for the first signs of teeth.
