What the Expert Says:

Babies start teething usually around four to six months old. There is a rare baby born with "natal" teeth, but most follow the pattern of before the first year.

I would say between 5 and 9 months according to the California Childcare Health Program.

As a secondary estimate, WebMD suggests 6 months.

Statistically speaking, first baby teeth come out between 6-9 months of age. However, infants begin the teething process well before then as many babies start drooling at around 2-3 months of age.
