How do you stop a 7 month old grinding her teeth?
Giver her a pacifier or a teether :)
Reply:I have no clue... my mother still grinds her teeth too. The sound.... ugh!
Reply:She won%26#039;t ruin them. And at this point, you can%26#039;t stop her.





It%26#039;s just a habit. But she%26#039;ll forget about it when she starts doing new exciting things like crawling and walking.
Reply:lightly and i mean lightly tap her mouth and tell her no no every time she does it
Reply:You can%26#039;t. Deal with it.
Reply:My son use to do this, you can%26#039;t stop her or hit her rightnow, she will stop, my son stopped on his own. I just ignored him when he did it cause if you make a big deal about it she will know she is doing something out of the ordinary.
Reply:Its just a phase ignore it...... my mother in law once said to me and it is the ONLY good thing.... she said to me when they%26#039;re babies everything is a phase...... go with it all, don%26#039;t worry. And now I have a 2 year old and she is right, it is, sleeping everything, they sort themselves out eventually, my boy grinds his teeth every once in a while, it may help her when they%26#039;re hurting.
Reply:If she grinds them at night too then there%26#039;s nothing to do but wait until she%26#039;s older and get a mouth guard to prevent tooth damage. If it%26#039;s day time only then it%26#039;s just a phase and you%26#039;ll have to adjust.
Reply:It%26#039;s very VERY common with young babies as they get their new teeth. They%26#039;re just experimenting with those hard things inside their mouths! Both my kids did it (my almost 3 year old still does periodically) usually while they where cutting new teeth or right after they cut new teeth.





My pediatrician assured me it%26#039;s totally normal and isn%26#039;t anything to worry about!





Hope that helps!
Reply:My son is now 4, he did it the moment he had enough teeth to grind and still does. I hoped he would stop by now, but it%26#039;s as though it%26#039;s part of his sleep pattern.
