What is normal teeth growth at 20 month old baby?
i feel my baby is not having enough teeth as not eating properly still eating puree.

Does drinking from sippy cup effect there teeth?.

Thank you. sai replied. drinking fron sipper affects jaw development, though it has no relation to teething. Also teething is different in all kids, by this age my son had all teeth needed by this time. give me semi -mashed food, whole apple,after he takes sweet or milk, clean his teeth. remember brushing starts wen ur kid has first tooth.......gud luk Mel replied. My son got his teeth very late, but by age 20 months, he had 8 front teeth, and 3 grinders.

Why is your baby still eating pureed food ? Please try offering well cooked, partly mashed food (lumpy and soft so your baby can chew), but please start developing the habit of chewing.

I don' t think drinking from a sippy cup affects their teeth, but prolonged contact with milk in the mouth affects the quality of teeth. Although it doesn' t delay the arrival of teeth.
