How many teeth does Leia have?

None!

She's going to be 1 year old by this end month and yet... "takda" (Malay word for none). I can see her bottom 2 middle teeth showing in her gum already. In fact, they have been there for a few months now and yet still not willing to come out!

The proof - shot taken a few days ago

Everyone have been asking and some couldn't comprehend why. Some had having negative thoughts in their heads. Abnormal baby? Of course, not! According to experts, baby's milestones vary from one individual to the other. Some babies could have their teeth sprouting out as early as 3-4 months. Some late bloomers will insist that it will only happen pass their 1 year old. I guess Leia will join the latter group.

The older generations from the Hokkien clan even have their own version of baby's milestones. It goes like this;

Chit chieh (7 - sit)
Peihk peh (8 - crawl)
Kow huat geh (9 - sprout teeth)

* 7, 8, and 9 refers to specific month

So, obviously Leia is out of the league. Hahaha... well, nothing much can be done. Just have to wait and see. Look at the bright side. I don't have to start worrying still about how to care for her gums and emerging teeth, the best way to brush her teeth, when to take her to the dentist, which brand has babies best toothbrush technology, etc, etc...
