Asking for Other, Male, 1.4 years old, Faisalabad
My son is 1 year n 4 months old. He used to grind his teeth sometimes. What is the reason for such habit?

sleep disturbance and anxiety contribute for teeth grinding among infants, if he is growing well and gaining appropriate weight you can neglect otherwise increase oral intake and adding supplements to his diet will improve this condition.
teeth grinding ll settle itself till 3-4 years
Agreed with Dr Abubakar
This is bruxism
Need supplementation if weight is below 11 kg other wise it will settle by itself. just need good semisolid diet

If you believe your child has grinding of teeth or bruxism, schedule a dental checkup for a proper diagnosis and further treatment. Your dentist may even order a custom mouthguard for wear at night to prevent grinding and residual soreness. Battery-powered toothbrushes can defend their teeth further by discouraging an overly aggressive brushing style.
Bruxism in children resulting from stress can be treated by helping your child deal with anxiety appropriately. The good news is most kids eventually grow out of teeth grinding. Still, it doesn't hurt to make that dentist appointment first to diagnose the problem, allowing you to treat it the best way you can.
