Baba baby! Find out why your baby was salivating too much

Can you tell when this salivation is normal and when it can indicate some kind of problem?

Most mothers and fathers are already used to the “drooling” phase of their children, when the bib becomes the best friend of the guardians and their babies. It is common to see some people complain about this stage which, in some cases, may seem overwhelming. Can you tell when this salivation is normal and when it can indicate some kind of problem? Find out why your baby was salivating a lot.

To begin with, it is important to know that, in most cases, it is normal for the baby to drool. The increase in the amount of saliva occurs due to the baby’s neurological and oral development. The most common is that the baby drool from two / three months of age, when he still does not have the coordination to swallow saliva, up to 18 months. The frequency and intensity tend to decrease up to two years of age.

From the age of two there is a greater maturation of the neurological system, as well as the posture of the body, factors that decrease the drooling. From that age, if the intensity does not decrease, the recommendation is to seek advice from a pediatrician, otolaryngologist or speech therapist.

Teeth
There are those who say that excess child drool can also be linked to the birth of teeth. In some cases, this is true. For moms and dads, it is relatively easy to identify this period, as the baby’s gum can be swollen and it is normal for them to feel like scratching the region by always putting their hand or objects in their mouth. Some children still feel pain and have fever and irritation. In these cases, there isn’t much for the drool to do, other than waiting for this stage to pass.
