My son is 7 mo. 3 1/2 mo. adjusted I was wondering do they teeth according to adjusted age or could it be possible that they teeth according to their real age. I was told they teeth according to adjusted but I just don't think so?

My preemies born at 30 weeks teethed early, began at 1 month adjusted, first tooth popped at 3 months adjusted! I really think teething is unique to each kid!

I remember my daughter's teeth coming in late. I questioned the dentist about it. He said it's better for their teeth to come in later. What does your dentist think?

Violet is 3 months adjusted/6.5 actual and I think she is teething already, although no teeth yet!

Milo is kind of going according to his adjusted age, but I think teething is one of those things that is really variable, even for full term babies. My sister's termie had only one tooth for about 4 months before he got in his second. He looked really funny, with just one big tooth on the bottom.

My dd was born at 29 weeks and she didn't get her first tooth until she was a year old, and then didn't get anymore teeth until i think a year and a half.

My baby is a 30 weeker and at 5 months 3 adjusted she's teething. No teeth yet but she's doing all the actions, our development doctor said she is teething... I had no idea lol

My 24 weeker teethed very late. His first teeth didn't come through until he was about 15 months actual. By the time he turned 2, he only had 4 upper and 2 lower teeth.

According to my ped., preemies teeth according to their actual age...of course all babies teeth at different times so who knows!

Callie isn't teething according to any age, she got 2 teeth at 3 1/2 months adjusted/7actual, and then nothing until 2 more popped at 7 adjusted 10 1/2 months actual. She now has 3 on the bottom of her mouth and one on top, totally wacky!
I think its totally unique for each kid.

My daughter is who is 32 weeker is now 7 months actual she dont have any teeth till now
