MY 6 month old DS's grinding his teeth

He has 2 lower front teeth and 2 canines coming in, or teeth next to
the canines... basically 1 on each side of his upper gums coming down
but not yet all the way.

he just started grinding his teeth a few days ago. we think he's
teething too as he seems more fussy (per our Nanny) and perhaps
starting to miss his parents.

i don't think he's tense - he smiles a lot, plays, curious, smiles at
the nanny, i couldn't tell if he's tense or anything.

so do you think he's just discovering his teeth and alos the sound?
that's what i assume.

is he was tense, what would some signs be?

He's not tense, he's just doing as you say.... discovering a new sound
he can make. It used to give me goose bumps when mine did it, but
it's totally normal.

You are correct.

is he was tense, what would some signs be?

In a young baby it would probably be largely physical -- fussiness, muscular
tension, etc. Maybe refusal to make eye contact or otherwise socialise.

Do you have any books about babies?
