Tips on teeth checking??

My LO is 7.5 months and no teeth through yet but seems like he's been teething forever! and I keep trying to check and look at his gums but he prizes his lips shut and/or sticks his tongue out so it's near impossible to ever get a good look at his gums. Any tips and tricks to get a peak at their teeth?!🥴

Farty child

I got a very farty 3 yo. Dr is not concerned. I wonder at what age can you teach them to go to the toilet and seek privacy to let them go. I don't want to make them feel ashamed or that they have to keep them no matter what.
