my 9 month old has just recently started grinding her teeth when i feed her. does anyone have any suggestions on making her stop?
is she learning to chew?
Both of my children grinded their teeth from about 10 months until 14 or 15 months. The sound sent chills up my spine. Usually I could distract them with a sippy cup or binky, but my son would do it in the car...almost as if he knew I couldn't do anything about it while I was driving :) Anyway, they grew out of it. Try not to make a big deal out of it. Our pediatrician said it was pretty common and normally wouldn't last long enough to cause any damage to the teeth.
My 2yr old son grinded his teeth for about 2 month when he was about 11 months. He grow out of it and now it's not a problem .
Good luck.
My daughter started grinding her teeth around 10 months when she discovered she had teeth on the top & bottom. Don't worry, she will stop on her own. I think it was just a faze
