2 Yr Old Grinding Teeth and Having Indegestion

there are plates a child can suck on to keep them from teeth grinding. When you notice it and she's awake, try to engage her in something soothing like blowing bubbles or petting her teddy bear. Some people just have anxieties that cause them to clench their jaw or grind their teeth. Be as unemotional as possible about this and try to avoid using your standare "hurting mommies ears" because then it could be used as a tool of revenge.

Also anxieties can affect the esphogas and cause regurgitation. I would suspect a very sensative gag reflex first. Try mylacon drops before a meal. A doctor can prescribe liquid Zantac, Tagamet, or Nexium too if this continues to be bothersome. Again, I would suggest you handle this as emotionless as possible because she could "do this to her self to get attetion" later on.

Hi J.... I dont know how to stop the grinding. But I was wondering if maybe you have been giving your daughter Mortin or something at night for teething or at any time in the day.
When my son was teething, a few times we gave him Mortin, and the next day, he would throw up after or during eating. It pretty much upset his stomach and from the little research I have done, it tends to stop digestion.
Just a thought. It might explain the spit up...
Good Luck!

The teeth grinding could be just a habit. She's figured out how to do it and does it because she can. As for stopping it, sorry, but I don't have experience with that.

RE: Indigestion
I've heard of several children, younger & older, that have reflux. She may be eating too quickly or taking too-big bites. Slowing her down and cutting her food ino smaller pieces may help. If it continues to be a problem, I'd talk with her pediatrician. Crazy as it sounds, she may need an acid reducer.

I don't know much about indigestion, but the teeth grinding is pretty normal. Our little girl started that at 25 months and stopped at about 29 months. She'd do it while she was awake and during her sleep. It annoyed us more than her. Her pediatric dentist, Dr. Guthrie, assured us that it was ok.
