Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Does your LO grit/grind teeth?

DD only has 3-4 teeth (2 bottom and 1-2 on the top), but she is already grinding them.....ALOT!

Not sure how to stop her from doing it. For now, when I catch her doing it, I put the tip of my finger in her mouth and try to gently separate her teeth, and say a firm No.

any other ideas?

  • Yes & it makes me cringe.  Everyone says it's just a phase while she adjusts to her new teeth though.  She already does it less.  It was all.the.time initially.

    This for us too.

  • Yes and I hate it! It makes me cringe everytime she does it. Im glad im not the only one that is dealing with this. I dont want DD to mess up her little teeth by doing this. Im hoping it ends SOON! Its been going on almost a month now.
  • Yes! It's like nails on a chalkboard. He's been doing it less and less though.

  • Constantly. I call him a rabbit because it seems like he's trying to grind them down. He has 4 on top and 2 on the bottom, and one or two more coming in on the bottom....

  • He used to do it constantly, now he only does it if he's waiting for me to respond to his babble or if he is playing with something and not "talking". I usually call him a rabbit because when he does it, it always seems like he's trying to grind his teeth down because they are too long for him or something. He also blinks every time he does it, so I wonder if it kinda drives him crazy too.
