Omg yes!!! My LO started doing it when she got more of her top teeth in. There really isn’t anything you can do besides offer teething toys to help with the teething.

My LO did this when he got his top teeth in, too. It only lasted about a week or two but I offered other options for him, like teething toys or his pacifier. Everything I researched said it was normal because it’s a new sound/feeling for them and they’re just curious, but if your little one continues to do it after a month or two, I would ask their doctor if getting your girls into a pediatric dentist is necessary.

I’m taking them to the dentist in a couple weeks but hopefully it stops before that. They just started this week but it’s driving me crazy already.

It's a phase! I would suggest ignoring it so they don't do it for attention. My 3.5 year old did it when she was little.

It’s a phase! He had it when he was younger and then started back after he turned one. But then stopped

My best friend is a hygienist. She told me that they will grow out of it. My daughter does the same thing and it’s horrible. The dentist can’t really do anything about it.
