8 month old grinding teeth?

My nearly 8 month old son has his 2 bottom teeth. His 2 top teeth have cut through the skin, but you can still barely see them. He spends a lot of time grinding his teeth together. Is this typical for this age/stage?

8 month old grinding teeth?
My youngest did this when he had teeth coming in. It lasted about 3 months. Once he had about 8 teeth he just stopped. I think it may be done because of the pain. Try some baby teething gel or Highlands teething tablets and a teething toy. Good luck mommy.
Reply:I think he is under a lot of stress. Try to reduce his responsibilities until he stops.
Reply:He%26#039;s teething and learning about his new teeth. Not to worry.





Give him a popsickle to help with the pain.
Reply:Yes my daughter did it everytime she was cutting teeth i think it%26#039;s a ntural way for them to sooth there gums and help cut it to.my daughter is 5 now and doesn%26#039;t do itbut,if becomes a prob later you might want to think about a mouth piece for at night .Thats for when they actually have all there teeth.
Reply:My daughter is 14 months and she grinds her teeth every now and then, I think its just because they are new to her and shes just %26quot;experimenting%26quot; with them I guess thats the right word. Get what Im saying??She has had her teeth for a while now but she does every now and then.
