Now that my little one has 5 teeth, she has started to grind them together + bite really hard on very hard things. I'm a bit worried about her little teeth getting damaged. Is this just a phase that passes?
Hehe, I love this age...toddling around proudly with a toy in each hand...taking turns at biting each one. So cute!! ------------- Mummy to Gabrielle and Ashley |

We have this problem too since Ashleigh got her top teeth. I think it will just be a phase as I seem to remember my nephew doing this aswell but he soon stopped. It must just be a "cause they can" thing when they actually have teeth to grind together  Hopefully she will get over it quickly though as it makes my skin crawl  ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

| Erin does it too, and we nicely ask her to stop but I can't say that it always works or that she understands! But it is becoming less and less often, so I think it is just a phase. |

Olivia does it when she has new teething coming through and has actually chipped her teeth. It does slow down, unfortunately you might be stuck with it for a wee while  ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

Matthew did it for a bit too, but grew out of it. I think the novelty wore off! I also tended to just ignore him when he did it so that he wasn't just doing it for attention IYKWIM? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
