Hey ladies...And gentlemen if their are any present. Okay, my son is 5 months old today and he already has 5 teeth and is sitting up without any sort of suport for very long periods. All that I read says that these things are not suppose to be happening for a few more months. Should I be worried at all?? I know that this seems like a stupid question but i'm worrie dmy son may have something wrong with him that is causing him to develop to quckly. I don't know... Any replies would be greatly appreciated!

God bless,
teresa

Babies can cut teeth at any age, some babies are born with teeth! And as for him sitting up it sounds as though he is probably just a very alert baby! This can happen quite often espcially with 2nd children or onwards as they have older ones to learn from. Is this your 1st baby? Do you have any older children around alot?! The things that are written in books are only meant as a guideline and it is perfectly normal for things to happen outside of these so try not to worry and enjoy your baby.
