What should I pay attention to if my 3-year-old baby drools while sleeping?

When a baby is young, it takes a certain process for him to drool. Generally, children drool the most when they are between seven and eighteen months old. Generally, the drooling of children will be reduced two weeks ago, but when the child is three years old, the child will still drool during the rest process. So when a child drools, how should you care for him and what should you pay attention to?

1. Wipe off his saliva at any time. Do not use force when wiping. Just wipe the saliva gently to avoid damaging the local skin.

2. Use warm water frequently to wash away the saliva, and then apply oil to protect the skin of the chin and neck. It is best to put a bib on your child to prevent saliva from staining his clothes.

3. The handkerchief used to wipe the baby's saliva should be soft and made of cotton, and should be washed and ironed frequently.

4. If the baby drools severely, you should go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are any abnormal symptoms in the baby's mouth, whether the swallowing function is normal, etc.

In addition, when a child sleeps on his stomach, drooling will not have any impact on him. The pillow just needs to be washed and dried frequently to prevent bacteria from breeding inside.

The above is what family members need to pay attention to when the child is drooling, but it is best for us to use a small handkerchief specifically for wiping the saliva of the child. This is more hygienic. It must be washed frequently, otherwise the child’s delicate skin will be infected. Therefore, care is also very important when the child is drooling.
