Best bet is a teething toy. Around that age they are discovering that they have a few teeth, and that they can make a special sound. It will most likely stop in a couple of months. Just affirm in your quest to make it stop. Be persistent in that it's "not nice" or use the term "no" when she starts. Although she can't communicate much at this point, one of the first things babies learn is the word NO. Good luck!!

My 13 1/2 month old daughter does that too, but she doesnt do it all of the time, I guess its where she is getting use to having so many teeth. But that noise drives me crazy my husband does it too when hes sleeping and I have to yell at hime to get him to stop.

7 years ago I've been involved in a car wreck and even since suffered with severe on and off facial and jaw pain. I've tried almost everything western medicine had to offer and had visited countless of specialist, had done ct scans, and therapies but to no avail. The doctors I have been to had persisted that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that almost drove me crazy as I was going through hell from this condition. According to all my symptoms I was diagnosed by a holistic doctor as having TMJ and he had recommended this book to me. After following the recommendation in the book for several weeks, it had changed my life. I got immediate relief after following the unique set of exercises in the book and after 2 weeks the jaw and face pain had completely gone. I only wish I would have ordered this program years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish.

my son does that all the time too.. I don't know that there is a way to stop him... but I think he is just getting use to the teeth in his mouth... he's learning.. he's got teeth now and is learning new things to do with them.. hoping he will stop one day.. cause it drives me crazy

Tooth grinding is a sign of cacium deficiency....are you breast feeding or formula feeding? She may not be absorbing what she needs. Schiff vitamins sells childens gummy vitamins that are just calcium.
Tooth grinding is also, unfortunately, a symptom of pin worms......which is pretty common until kids stop putting hands/toys in their mouth.
I'd get her checked out at the Pediatrition....blood test for calcium, stool test for worms. Both my children were positive for low calcium and...uggg..worms. Both were easily remidied! Good luck!

my daughter has an overbite and the dentist said that it is good that she grinds her teeth because it will help them to fit together better

My Son did that for quite a while too, especially at night. One day, it just stopped! Sorry I don't have an answer, but I thought I'd let you know you are not alone...
Good Luck!

when they usually grind their teeth it can mean that it is possible she has worms so i would suggest you bring her to a doctor as soon as possible
