Most kids get the bottom 2 front teeth first. then the top two, then the top 2 more either side of the front ones, then the bottom 2 more.

My DD is now getting her teeth in the "wrong" order. Don't worry it makes no difference.

My first two got their bottom teeth first, which is what's usual. But my 13 month old is just getting his first tooth now, and it's a top tooth.

Yehuda who is now 11 and a half months old got all four teeth (the bottom front teeth and the upper front teeth) at the same time when he was 10 months old. They say usually the two lower ones first, but every baby is different, I would not worry about it. when I was training to be a midwife a baby was bron with her front upper two teeth. So they can come any time and in any order. Good Luck with the teething, if the baby is in pain give the baby a little pain relief and lots of kisses and cuddles!!! Wink

LOL!!!! that's cute. Have you tried teething gel, bread sticks, or just a hard toy for her to chew and bite on, it all helps. But the best is Mummy's hugs and kisses!!!!!

front bottom are the norm. But anything is normal. Both of my kids got their molars first.
DD is cutting her 4th molar now, has a few teeth that came in between. But she only had 3 of the front teeth so far. Just this week she cut 3 teeth in 2 days. Including her front top & the one next to it.

WARNING: BABY Orajel is safe & fine. DO NOT USE oragel or anythng of the sort that is meant for adults! It causes too much saliva & the baby can choke.
I find that the baby orajel does wonders! Of course hugs'n'kisses from Mummy are the best, but she may like it so much she'll keep her teeth from showing. lol (Don't worry, Gitty gets plenty of it!)
