Teething ?!?

Question

So my baby is 9 months old and only growing 1 bottom teeth so im wondering if this is normal?? I keep seeing delayed teething can be because low of calcium?!? What can i do? She drinks abt 24oz of formula every day and has some purées, baby oatmeal, & im scared of giving her other food since she doesnt have any teeth im afraid shes gonna choke or something.

Answer

She won’t choke unless you give her really big food. Gums are stronger than teeth pretty much. Just make sure you properly prepare it for her (either find a purée to toddler food transition website/blog or look into baby led weaning). 
And the longer her teeth don’t come in, the stronger they are. My son didn’t get his first until 8 months old. It isn’t a “concern” until they’re like 18 months old and they haven’t gotten a single tooth. Some babies don’t get teeth until they’re almost 2.

Answer

My daughter just turned a year old on thanksgiving and all she has is her two bottom front teeth and nothing poking through anyway else we feed her what we eat so she eats almost everything ! But she seems to be doing fine !

Answer

Totally normal. At 9 months, my daughter didn't even have any teeth yet. She got her first one at 11 months. At this point, out would not be considered late teething, just normal baby stuff. Also, she doesn't need teeth to chew up food. Gums are oddly super strong.

Answer

Some kids have several teeth and 9 months and others have none. I wouldn't call it delayed yet.
If you're most comfortable giving purees and mashed foods, then continue to do so.
