My DS has just started doing it too when he is pissed off. He was 2 in Oct.

I started doing it as soon as I got teeth, and I still do it.

Its really an unconsious thing that I can't help. When I realize I am doing it and I am awake, I can make myself stop... at night, that's different. A mouth guard at night, every single night for the past several years, is the only thing that has saved my teeth.

YES, our 14 month old does it and started when he was about 10 months old. Back then, I think he discovered it was a new thing he could do and did it all the time. It bothers dh more than me. Now he just does it occasionally. I found that asking him NOT to do it and cringing (which dh does) just makes him do it more (wow, look what I can make mommy and daddy do LOL). Its hard to ignore, but now I try to get his mind off of it by distracting him or offering him some water. I am so hoping he will totally grow out of it.
