Blog Hopping: Order of Baby Teeth

Did you know that baby teeth have an order of appearance? I sure didn’t, until I found this picture explaining how and when babies get teeth:
First of all the teeth appear in pairs. Pair numbered 1-1 comes first, then the pair numbered 2-2 and so on. There is also a time frame for teeth: the first four pairs erupt in the first year, pairs 5 and 6 from 12 to 18 months, pairs 7 and 8 from 18 to 24 months, and pairs 9 and 10 after the baby is two-years-old.
I think this chart is great! Eric is teething and in so much pain and I find it very hard to comfort him. So naturally it made me wonder if there is light at the end of the tunnel. Well, there is – he is 8-months-old and we’ve got the first three pairs, which means one more to go and we’re done for this year!

That's neat... although that's the usual order of things, it's not always so. My 17 month old got his first eight teeth very early starting at 5 months and then had a loooong break until a couple months ago. Right now he is cutting set 5, 7 and 8 at the same time... All of them or just out of the gums and he is miserable. He cut set 6 about a month ago. Maybe the period between 18-24 months will be a breeze then, which is good considering my 5 month old is about to start cutting teeth too!
