Any suggestions?

Matt now has 6 teeth.... And the problem is that he grinds them! Is that normal? Anyone have suggestions what I should do? What helps him not grind his teeth? I seriously hate it when he grinds his teeth. It sounds awful and I'm scared that it's going to hurt his beautiful teeth. If you have had same experiences with your babies and have any ideas what I need to do to prevent him from doing it, please let me know!

He's gonna lose those teeth anyway though, right?

I did that growing up. Still do actually. Haha! Um... I don't know that my mom did anything to stop me. Maybe give him a sucker or something to snack on so he is still using his jaw but not grinding.

He's probably not old enough to understand "no" or "stop" but it doesn't hurt to try.

Sophie would grind her teeth as a baby too. Jake says all it will do is grind them down a little, but he should be fine. Does he use a binkie? That's what I did when Sophie would grind them a lot. Just an idea.
