5 month old teething

[Edith22]

So apparently my baby already grew his two first bottom teeth & I didn’t even know until yesterday I mean I did notice him drooling more than usual but that’s it. My baby is really chill and hardly cries. So is it just my luck or will he be cranky when the rest of his teeth come in ? Will my baby change behavior ?

It may change, it might not. No one can answer this question unless they can read the future. I'd just count yourself lucky so far that your baby seems content.

My mum always tells how my brother had 4 teeth (at 4 months) before anyone noticed! Hopefully your little one will take the rest in his stride too - how nice for you!!

No one knows.

Just make sure you clean them twice a day with fluoride toothpaste from today, take him to the dentist as soon as you can and avoid giving him "juice". Babies and toddlers are fine just drinking milk and water.

(Sorry if you know the above but I keep coming across people who wonder why their 2-3 year old has rotten teeth that need extraction.)
