Why does my baby keep blowing bubbles from his mouth?

Every baby is the treasure of the family. We hold the baby in our hands for fear of it falling, and put the baby in our mouths for fear of it melting. Every family has a baby. Today’s young mothers have no experience in taking care of children. We must observe the baby more when we are around the baby, because he can’t speak and may not be able to express the situation. It all depends on the parents’ observation. So what’s the matter with the baby who always blew bubbles from his mouth? Let’s find out together!

First of all, I want to tell the parents of babies with certainty that children spitting bubbles does not mean they are sick, but it is a normal physiological reaction. Most babies secrete less saliva during the confinement period. After a full month, as their age increases, the babies' various physiological functions increase accordingly, and their saliva also increases. When the saliva increases but they cannot swallow, they will discharge the saliva in the form of bubbles. In fact, bubbles are the baby's saliva. When the baby reaches 3 months old, the saliva continues to increase, and the phenomenon of spitting bubbles becomes more obvious.

In fact, when the baby starts to secrete saliva, it is also a preparation for adding complementary foods. The baby's saliva is the digestive fluid for starchy foods. They can help the baby digest complementary foods. If the baby does not have enough saliva, he will not be able to digest starchy foods. As long as the baby is simply drooling, has no fever or cough, and is developing normally, there is no problem. However, children with cerebral palsy may also drool and spit bubbles, but most of these babies also have other obvious symptoms of illness, so parents do not need to worry if their normal babies spit bubbles.

How should parents take care of their babies when they start drooling and blowing bubbles? Although it is a normal physiological phenomenon for babies to spit bubbles, it does not mean that parents can completely ignore it. When babies drool and spit bubbles, their necks and chests will be wet, and the area around the corners of their mouths will often be wet. If the mother does not wipe the baby's saliva in time, the baby's skin will be in a moist state for a long time, causing some skin diseases. Therefore, parents should always prepare a gauze handkerchief to wipe the baby's saliva when the baby is drooling, and change the baby's clothes in time. It is best to put a bib under the baby, because the baby is young and has soft bones. Frequent changing of clothes can easily sprain the waist, and they may also catch cold and get sick. Therefore, it is much more convenient to change the bib, and the bib is easier to take off and clean. It is recommended that new mothers prepare a few more bibs for their babies.

Now we have the answer to why babies always blew bubbles from their mouths. It turns out that parents must be careful in their daily lives, otherwise we won’t know if there are any problems with our children. Inexperienced people will always ignore the child’s condition, such as some of the child’s physical signs. If the baby cries frequently, parents must be careful, otherwise it will affect the baby’s health.
