Anyone Have a Tooth Grinder?
3 Years, 7 Months ago
Our 20 mo. daughter has just discovered how to grind her teeth. She does it while she's playing. She does it while she's eating. She does it for sport. She does it anytime I am within earshot. I know these teeth are temporary, and they'll fall out anyway, but that doesn't stop me from being mildly alarmed by this new development.<br><br>A quick check of the What to Expect: The Second Year book index listed nothing.<br><br>Please try to save me the cost of a $25 pediatrician co-pay <br><br>Anyone experienced or heard about this?

I'd call your pedi. Ask to talk to the advice nurse, no need to bring her in for something like that.<br><br>I haven't faced this problem yet so be sure to get back to us and tell us what they said!

My son did this when he was about 10 -11 months old. It was perhaps one of the worst sounds imaginable. Way worse than fingernails on a chalkboard. Fortunately he stopped doing it after a couple of weeks. *shudder*

It is an awful sound indeed! Maybe I'll wait it out a couple more weeks and see what happens…

Well we encouraged stopping it by trying to distract him whenever he did it. Give him/her something else to do or chew on.

Come to think of it, I have not heard this awful sound recently, so I guess she tired of this game and stopped!<br><br>Personally, I don't even know how they do it. They must have some sort of muscle in their jaw that is not fully developed and allows them to do this feat...???

One of our twins started grinding his teeth recently. He is 9 months old adn has 6 teeth. Our Pedi said it is one of those things that bothers the parents, but in general does no harm to the kid's teeth. They are just experimenting with these new things in their mouth.

Dadchelor Parties

Daddy Clay talks to Beth Feldman, Founder and President of RoleMommy.com about a few "dad trends." Dads are becoming more involved with everything from the very beginning, including doctors appointments and even baby showers. A Dadchelor party is a get together for new Dads that is essentially, diapers for beer. Guest bring diapers and beer is served while you watch movies or maybe the game. At a Dadchelor party, baby kegger, ok, strippers, not ok. (Trust us on this one.) Another great idea for new Dads is to take the Mom-to-be on a "Babymoon" where she gets pampered and can relax. Well, relax as much as one can when building a human. Episode 868
