Almost 9 months no teeth

My son will be 9 months on the 29th and he still has no sign of a tooth. He does do thing that seem like he’s teething but nothing. Any advice or someone that knows something I don’t ? 😭

Oh my. What a cutie! Sorry no input about the teeth. ☺️

They come in at different times for kiddos. You can try giving teething toys to help the teeth break through the gums.

Doctor said most pop their first tooth around 6-9 months but its perfectly normal for them not to get one until 12 months, my baby is almost 8 months and ZERO signs of teeth 😂

Some babies don’t start teething until closer to or shortly after turning 1yr old.

If you are worried at that time then I’d take baby to a dentist but for now, just wait and enjoy him not having teeth.

They don't start to worry and investigate until 18 months so you've got loads of time. It's just something that happens when it happens

We are also nearly 9 months and no teeth yet!

He’s so handsome!

My baby cut his first two teeth around his first birthday and just got his next two at 15 months … he had all the signs of teething starting around 4 months off and on. They’ll come (: try not to worry and enjoy the cute gummy smile!

My baby is 9 months and still no teeth! So don’t feel alone!

My lg got her first tooth at 11 months, then caught up really quickly. Nothing to worry about until 18 months

they come in at different times lovely, last year on dec 9th, my boy was 9 months old at the time and was still toothless, and by christmas day he had 6 come through all at once! he turned 10months on the 20th dec. it was a tough 2 weeks 😂 but its nothing to be worried about! some babies dont cut until past 1 years old. youll be ok!

Teeth take forever to come through, some babies don’t even have their tooth cut till later on so I wouldn’t worry x

Mine doesn’t have teeth either but that’s just fine with me because breastfeeding is already a huge wrestling match/battle

So cute!! My son has the same outfit! Lol but he also didn’t get any teeth until the end of his 10th months and had 4 teeth before 12 months … he’s 15 months soon and finally getting his 5th tooth

Such a cutie, honestly enjoy the lack of teething whilst it last because they will definitely come. My son has been teething non stop since 6 months and I’m tired

Is this clever or cruel?

My husband and i were talking and with social media and the internet in general being a terrifying dumpster fire, we are trying to figure out the best way to keep our son safe while still teaching him how to safely be online and moderation.

We landed on the idea of giving him the 90's kid treatment. A computer in the living room for us to keep an eye on what hes doing online, and once we feel hes mature enough to hang with friends without adult supervision he gets a flip phone. When we feel he is responsible enough and he earns and saves up the money for the physical phone, case, and screen cover, then we will be happy to take him to get a smart phone.

I thought this was air tight, but now my brother says its cruel to give a kid a flip phone, and besides he can just use his friends phones at school.

My husband and i remember a time before the internet, and we remember having complete access to something no one understood yet. We saw unspeakable things and are always battling with the urge to put the phone and social media down. I dont want that for my son, especially with his brain so vulnerable still.

If your partners parent passes away

And you and that parent didn't get along are you still go to the funeral?

Not my situation!

Partner no longer wants baby #2

Before our son was born we originally both wanted minimum 2 kids but we were hoping for 3-4. My partner found the birth traumatic to watch and also struggled a lot with the newborn/baby stage. He no longer wants to have any more children and it’s completely breaking my heart. I need another baby. We’ve spoken about it a lot and the options. He said he wasn’t COMPLETELY closed off to it so I asked him to try and work through his feelings and reconsider his decision. He eventually said he definitely doesn’t want another. I know that I will always want one and my feelings will never change. Do we have to break up or does anyone know anything else I can do to help change his mind? Has anyone else’s partner said this and then changed their mind? I don’t want to break up because I adore him and our life together and I’d hate to split up our family for “selfish” reasons and make my son miss out on having both of us together but I just don’t know what to do

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

Jealous of my husband

I’m so jealous of him and it’s making me resentful. We have a ten week old and I’m jealous that he is at work all day. I’m jealous he can leave for lunch and actually eat an uninterrupted lunch. Take a phone call uninterrupted. Chat with a friend he runs in to uninterrupted. Even go to the bathroom when he wants uninterrupted. He comes home from work when he wants. He’s not on a set schedule. Some days are late some are early. It depends on when he’s done. I’m jealous he can come home at 10pm and shower, eat and go right to bed uninterrupted because I already have the baby asleep. He doesn’t have to worry about anything house wise or baby wise because I’ve done it all. Meanwhile I’m covered in puke and crap and smell like rotten milk. When he is home he is VERY active and helpful. So it’s not that. I’m just jealous his world hasn’t changed and mine has I guess. This isn’t something he’s doing wrong so I’m not sure how to get past this. I wish I could keep him home all day because that’s how helpful he is, but I understand he obv needs to work.

Calpol

My mum has just given my 4 year old calpol because he asked for it. He isn’t poorly (although was last week, been fine this week) he just likes the taste of it. My mum didn’t check, didn’t ask, just gave it to him and when I’ve questioned her she said “he asked for it”. Then quizzed 4 year old who said he asked for it because it tastes nice.

How would you react?
