Anyone else's LO grinding their teeth?

Lily started grinding her teeth yesterday. I do it in my sleep at night and have had to wear a bite guard before. Do you think it's just because she's teething? Should I talk to her pedi about it next week? I'm worried she is going to damage her little teeth.

I think DD has been grinding her teeth since she got her first teeth, and she even chipped her tooth from grinding. I asked my pedi about it and he said there was nothing to worry about. He said it just annoys the parents but that is about it and shouldn't have to worry until the permament teeth come in.

Ugh- It makes my skin crawl every time I hear it. I asked the pedi about it and she said it's just a phase and not to worry about it.

Yup! It is the wort noise...pedi said some kids do it and there is nothing you can do anout it. I feel like the more I pay attention to it, the more he does it...so I try to ignore it..

Ds started doing it around 4-5mo when he got his first teeth. Its really hard to listen to and we try to stop him by giving him a teething toy but I dont think theres much else you can do.

DS does it. Drives us crazy, but what are we supposed to do about it, you know? My inlaws say they think he does it more when he's tired, but I hadn't noticed.
