What ever Seth gets from licking, he doesn't get from brushing. We even tried putting flavors on the brush, he would just gag. I got a vibrating teether, he likes it, but still licks everything. He loves to lick and bite lemons, limes sour patch kids, etc., but we have found nothing replaces the constant licking. Sure hope as time passes, this will too.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hello everyone, Not only is obsessively grinding his teeth, but now is licking EVERYTHING he can get his hands on (besides solid food). He licks his hands, the windows, the walls, our clothes, arms, legs, EVERYTHING! He went from putting nothing to his mouth, to licking. Not that I'm complaining about his oral skills improving, it's just hard especially when he goes up to family friends who you rarely see and he licks them, hahaha! Any ideas? Anyone else's kiddos doing this? - ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Holland Committee's Homepage My personal blog- Raising The CDSC is on Facebook!
