She needs a 12 step program

How do you break a baby of a bad habit? Sam has started grinding her teeth. All 4 teeth that she currently has. It is one of the worst sounds in the whole world to me. It makes the hair on my arms stand up and my eyes water. I hate it that much.

So far, I just squeeze her cheeks together which makes her stop and tell her no. Unfortunately, she thinks this is funny.

Any ideas?

Jacob does this too! We squeeze his cheeks as well and we have also just given him something to chew on (an appropriate chew toy, not just anything). He does it in his sleep though too (but I have always done this so I was thinking it was freakishly genetic or something). I am going to the dentist soon and was planning on asking his advice. If I get anything good I will share it.

I am so glad to hear this isn't just something Sam is doing. It just makes me crazy!
