Teeth clenching
This might be really random but since having my baby I’ve got an awful habit of clenching my teeth all the time. My teeth are getting quite sensitive from it now (baby is 5 months old) and it’s such a habit I can feel I’m doing it when I’m not even stressed. Has anyone else had this? Wondering if anyone has any tips on how I can break the habit 😩

This doesn’t help all the time but I’ve had a night time mouth guard for years and I love it. Can’t sleep without it. I got mine fitted at the dentist under insurance.
Now you’ve mentioned it, so do I!!! Like all the time. I’ve just relaxed my jaw now you’ve said it haha
Omg I’m the same!! I think it’s stress 😂
Ah not just me then! It’s so annoying! And getting sore!
I used to do this and my dentist built up a couple of my teeth so they didn’t slot together so easily anymore, which made me stop.
Look to get a nightguard from the dentist. I do this too, but used to do it when stressed pre-baby. I actually ended up chipping a tooth! X
@Megan oh did that feel odd afterwards?

I do this too now!!! I was just doing it when reading your post 😅😂 sorry I have no advice but always do it when I'm holding my baby or settling him as well as if I'm tensing to make sure I don't drop him? I dunno why or how to stop 🤔
