We have a 1yr. old fd that has 6 teeth. Recently she's been grinding her teeth! I've never had a child do this. Is this normal? Is there something I can do to get her to stop? Any help or advise would be appreciated.

One of my nieces did this for a couple of years. Although I've read it can be caused by stress in some children, her ped said it was nothing to worry about.
Hers was a stage that she passed through. I think we talked about this somewhere on the first year forum. I'll look for the thread.

StorkWatcher...thanks for directing me to the forum on this. I must have missed it before.

One of my daughters did this fairly regularly for a while (she's now 5). Our pediatrician and our pediatric dentist both said not to worry about it. I still find her doing it occasionally, but not nearly as often as before.
