Is this normal? Have noticed that Kaleb has started to grind his teeth. Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do to encourage him not to? Advice greatly appreciated  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

hehe...Ella started doing that as well when her top 4 teeth came through (yes all 4 at once!). It only lasted a couple of weeks and hasn't done it since (thank goodness as it was driving me nuts and I cringed everytime I heard it). ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Yeah I'm thinking it's because his top teeth have come down further and it's probably pretty interesting to be able to do something like that! At first I kept checking his mouth to see if he had something in there ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Caleb used to do this and I hated the noise of it but couldn't seem to make him stop. Thankfully he hasn't done it for awhile, so hopefully it wont come back anytime soon.
I hope Kaleb stops doing it soon. |

Charlotte used to grind her teeth and the sound was awful. She started it when she was teething, only lasted a few weeks and she stopped. In saying that she is getting her 2 year old molars at the moment and occasionally she is doing it again but nothing like she did the first time. I'm sure it will pass with time, then he will start something else that drives you up the wall  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Same here, Lachie tends to doit when he is teething, drives me nuts but seems to last a couple of weeks and then stops for a while -------------

Jake only did it for a few weeks after his top teeth came through too. Hopefully he will stop soon. ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |
