Teeth grinding

Does your LO grind their teeth? If so, how are you trying to make them stop or prevent it all together?

    DS does.  Drives me bonkers!  I have been told that the best thing to do is just ignore it.  It is more of a passing thing right now as they start exploring different things.  I have given him things to chew on when it really bugs me.  Over the past week he is doing it less and less.

    Where is your LO in terms of teeth coming in?

    J would grind is teeth all the time when his top four came in. It's very normal, although annoying, and he doesn't do it anymore. I don't really remember when he stopped!

    He is working on getting number 7. All four on the top are in. I am just really concerned because he spit out a little chip of a tooth he broke off from grinding.

    I can tell that J's grinding made his teeth less sharp over time. I think they are trying to make their teeth more comfortable in their mouths. I wouldn't worry about it!

    OMG its like nails on chalkboard to me.  I just tell him to not do that and try to distract him with other things but maaan, I hate that noise.

    I offer a teething ring. Sometimes he'll take it, other times he prefers to just keep grinding. They are just the baby teeth, so try not to worry too much about damage.
