so my beautiful little man has just discovered whet his teeth can really be used for other then eating!! and with all the many tricks he has discovered like opening his sippy cup he has also started grinding his teeth.

Jaxon is ten months old and has seven teeth wich he insists on walking around all day grinding, its driving me insane other then the fact that i dnt want him to ruin his teeth even if they are only milk teeth, but the noise sends shivers down my spine

i dnt even know where to start to get him to stop!!!! HELP, any advice would be greatly aprieciated he's driving me nuts!!! xox

Wish I had some advice here on how to stop it at this age (my oldest did it for quite some time too), but not much to be done. Hang in there.

My son had 6 teeth by the age of 7 months, & he ground them too - I think it is just like a new toy they have to play with - he will get over it soon enough - until then, maybe invest in some earplugs! Or try to divert his attention whenever it gets to you. Hope he stops it soon!

Have you tried giving him something to chew on when he starts to grinde them?? My oldest was a teeth grinder, but only in her sleep. She ground her top front teeth down to where people thought she had lost them. Thankfully she stopped after loosing them.

I wish I had some suggestions, but don't. I would be very careful with how much attention you bring to it. If you make too much of it, he may do it just to get a reaction out of you! Hugs, Fern

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
