What to do if your baby drools a lot

Many babies drool a lot, especially if they drool too much, which affects the health of their children, especially for some children who drool for a long time. As parents, we must pay attention to it. If the baby drools for a long time, it will pose a threat to the child's health. So what should you do if your baby drools too much? The following is a detailed answer so that parents can have a comprehensive understanding of it.

Drooling is more obvious in infants during the teething period. During this period, the mouth is an important organ for infants to obtain satisfaction. Increased saliva will reduce the pain of gums. Increased saliva is a physiological phenomenon, not a disease. There is no need for treatment. Just pay attention to care. The drooling condition will improve as the baby grows older, his swallowing ability and lip closure ability improve, his teeth gradually sprout, and the volume and depth of his oral cavity gradually increase. Mothers do not need to worry too much.

What should I do if my baby drools a lot?

Do not wipe your baby's mouth with a rough handkerchief or towel as this may easily damage the skin. Use a very soft handkerchief or napkin to wipe away the saliva outside your mouth little by little to keep the area around your mouth dry.

To prevent saliva from wetting the clothes in front of the neck and upper chest, you can put a small cotton bib on your baby. Soft, slightly thick and highly absorbent fabric is the first choice for bibs.

When the baby's deciduous teeth are erupting, the gums will itch, become swollen and painful, and the baby will drool more. You can give the baby chewing gums of appropriate hardness or softness, and babies over 6 months old can chew on teething biscuits. This can reduce the discomfort of the gums during the eruption period, stimulate the deciduous teeth to erupt as soon as possible, and reduce drooling.
