Ugh I can't imagine this lasting for a month, but I feel like that's the way it is with everything in parenting. Haha. Every phase sounds awful and you want it to end and suddenly it's over and in retrospect it's SUCH a blip on the radar and not a big deal :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-grinding-front-teeth#post-2217833 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 07:29:14 +0000 Bubbles 2217833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, DS did this at a similar age! I can't remember how long it lasted but he definitely grew out of it, maybe a month or so? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-grinding-front-teeth#post-2217830 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 07:27:58 +0000 SweetiePie 2217830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: that's what we're doing which is perfectly timed with when I was finally committed to decrease the pacifier usage! I was going to limit it to the crib and stroller only, but I can't take the grinding sound so I've been sticking the paci in there. Oh well, will try again in a couple weeks. </p> <p>@Charm54: @hilsy85: @Foodnerd81: Thank you! Glad to hear it's normal and a phase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-grinding-front-teeth#post-2217814 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 07:00:57 +0000 Charm54 2217814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg my daughter did this and it was SO gross - made me cringe every time. I found I had to ignore it, because telling her "no" would make her laugh and then she do it more to get a reaction from me. i think she was experimenting with those new teeth and sounds.</p> <p>She gradually stopped doing it...sometimes now she will still grind them if she is excited and making a funny face, but generally it has stopped and thankfully is nowhere as bad as it once was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-grinding-front-teeth#post-2217813 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 07:00:43 +0000 hilsy85 2217813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal! He's just getting used to the feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-grinding-front-teeth#post-2217811 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 06:59:34 +0000 Pumuckl 2217811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yepp, my first did this. I always made him stop by sticking a pacifier in his month. I just couldn't stand the sound... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-grinding-front-teeth#post-2217810 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 06:56:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2217810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh yes! I hated it! My friends son did it first so I knew what it was but the sound is awful! She did it on and off for a few weeks and stopped on her own as she got used to the new sensation of teeth I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/9-month-old-grinding-front-teeth#post-2217808 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 06:52:01 +0000 SweetiePie 2217808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has had his 2 bottom teeth for a couple of months now an one of his top just broke through. The other is about to.<br /> He has started almost constantly grinding the top and bottom tooth. It's so loud it makes me cringe. Is this just a phase since its "new"? Anyone else's LO do this and eventually stop? </p>
