Give me hope? I googled it and everything that came up was talking about it being a phase for to 1.5 - 2.5 year old set. But my 13 month old has just taken to it. Oh lord it's ear drum busting!!

Ignoring is our tactic as well. It seems to last a lot longer if we pay attention to it. It was the same with teeth grinding.
