I was wondering if anyone else's little one has been diagnosed with anemia at baby age, and hadn't had their teeth come through yet.  Winston is 10 1/2 months old, and still doesn't seem to have any teeth ready to come through, and shows no real signs of teething.  All 4 of the others had teeth between 8 and 9 months old, but they were teething from the age of 3 months.  However because so much is said about bones and teeth together, knowing that the anemia he has, has exhausted his bones of iron, I was wondering if maybe this could be why he has yet to get any teeth.  Can anyone shed any light on this subject for me?
