My 10 month old boy has just had his top teeth come through, but now he keeps grinding his teeth! It is horrible. Has anyone got any ideas how to stop him doing this? I do give him teething rings.

Michelle,
I had the smae problem with my daughter a few weeks ago (she's now 11 months) and posted a message just like you. I was advised that they only do it for awhile and Madison is no longer doing it. But god it was an awful sound. I used to put the dummy in her mouth to stop her!

Hi Everyone!
Thankyou for your replies, I spoke to my child health nurse and she just said to give him something to chew straight away. (I do that ).
Otherwise it will ruin his enamel on his teeth.
I hope he stops this soon!

Hi everyone, Luckily Jack hasnt been grinding his teeth lately. Hopefully its the end of it. Instead he is now chewing his cot rail and the paint is coming off!! Luckily it is non-toxic paint. There is always something!

hi everyone.
The very next day after reading this post and me thinking I didn't have to worry about that as my girl has never done it. She started!!!! I think she must've read it too and thought it sounded good. It's driving me nuts. The sound just grates through your body.
Oh well, have fun

Hi Lisa, Jack has been really good untill today. He started again! While I was feeding him yoghurt for lunch. He started to bite the spoon, and then started to grind his teeth. I gave him a rusk and that seemed to help.
