Why is the newborn blowing bubbles from his mouth?

If you have a baby at home, you can often see the baby blowing bubbles. Many babies like to blow bubbles when they are one or two months old. Sometimes it is just a little saliva. Parents will worry about any symptoms of the baby, and some will go to the hospital for examination immediately. Regarding the bubbles coming out of the mouths of newborns, experts tell us that sometimes babies blow bubbles because of development. Let’s take a look at what the phenomenon of babies blowing bubbles means.

It is actually a normal physiological reaction for babies to spit bubbles, and it does not mean that they are sick. Because the baby's salivary glands are becoming more and more fully developed and secreting more and more saliva, however, the baby at this time is not very good at swallowing, so the increased saliva is sometimes discharged in the form of bubbles, which is also considered the baby's saliva. Because the saliva secretion of three-month-old babies continues to increase, the phenomenon of spitting bubbles is most obvious at this stage. If the baby has no fever or cough, it means there is no problem with development.

You can also check the baby's mouth. If there is nothing growing in it, it is normal. Is this because two-month-old babies like to play by blowing bubbles? This is because the central nervous system and salivary glands of newborns are not yet mature, and the amount of saliva secreted is small. The salivary glands begin to develop at 3-4 months, and the amount of saliva secretion increases.

If a baby spits bubbles, it is not necessarily big. In the "mouth" stage, it may be a reflex or a reaction to seek milk. The salivary glands of a two-month-old baby begin to develop, so there will be a lot of saliva. You can spit a few bubbles to play with. This is to prepare him/her for eating complementary food, because saliva is the first digestive fluid for starchy food. Only with sufficient saliva can starchy food be digested. Don't worry. Some babies also love to spit bubbles or drool before teething. This is because the baby's oral function has not yet developed well and cannot swallow saliva in time. If you only spit bubbles, don't cough, don't have a fever, don't cry, and are in a normal mood and eat milk, don't be nervous. Mild coughing and sneezing help babies clear mucus or secretions in the nose and throat, and are not necessarily symptoms of illness.

After reading the above explanation about the phenomenon of newborn babies spitting bubbles from their innermost parts, everyone should have a reasonable understanding. Newborns may have difficulty swallowing saliva because their organs are not fully developed. It is normal for newborns to bleed bubbles from their mouths. As long as the baby does not have a fever, eats normally, and has no other adverse symptoms, it is normal. Mothers do not need to worry too much.
