    I'm just curious how many id twins did not teeth at the same time and how far apart were they. One of my girls cut her first two teeth last week and the other one's are no where to be seen. The twin with the teeth is about 4 lbs bigger than her sister. I didn't think weight mattered at all but what is every one else's experience?

    TIA

    Mine are a pound apart and they teethed about 3 weeks apart! It was the little one who started.

    It was weird but my boys seemed to cut their teeth at almost the same time.

    My ID's were about 2 weeks off of each other with teeth. :)

    My bigger twin got her first tooth about a week before her sister. After that, their teeth came in anywhere from 2 days to a month apart. Some of them came in the same and some came in mirror-image.

    My bigger twin (by 4lbs also) got her first tooth- two weeks later her second. One month later the smaller twin got her first and the second almost 2 weeks later.We've had no more teeth for a while now.

    Our girls got their first teeth within an hour of each other one afternoon. No kidding! The next few teeth were also very close, usually a day or two apart. Thereafter I started losing track but I seem to recall that a few of the teeth were weeks apart.

    Grace got her first bottom right in and then about 2 weeks later Hope got her bottom left in. After that their second tooth came in on the same day. They were just opposite sides and they were both crooked. It was a bit strange to me. Now they are both trying to get their top 4 teeth and last night when I looked Hope's tooth has poked through and Grace's hadn't yet.

    Mine were about a month apart and cut different teeth first. One got the front bottom first and the other got one of the front top first. They have been pretty much getting the rest of the teeth at the same time since that.

    My boys went from two weeks apart for their first teeth (bigger twin first), to getting their most recent tooth the same day. ALL teeth are coming in mirror. Their hair sworls are mirror and we are starting to see mirror hand usage too. It's so weird.

    Generally, mine were about within a week of each other.
