So I thought we were done with teething for a while, but the past week or so Aiden has constantly had his finger in his mouth and has been drooling all the time. I knew he had his full set of 16 baby teeth (shown) and at first I passed it off as tooth shifting; some of his teeth aren't completely in, and maybe were coming through more. Well after some research I found out that children can get their second molars as early as 22 months. I had heard from friends and family that they usually come around 2 1/2 or 3, but evidently Aiden's are coming soon! (he's almost 21 months) His baby teeth came in early- the complete set by about 18 months, so this isn't surprising. Like I said, I just thought we were done for a while. The diagram shows the full set of "baby" teeth (20 total). Currently, he has all but those second molars, but they should be popping up any time now!
Poor Aiden. Hope they come in quickly & at least you won't have to worry about him having teething pain when the new baby comes!
