How to care for a baby who drools for more than two months

In the newborn period, babies generally do not drool, but as they grow older, in the second month, babies gradually start to drool. Because children's resistance is limited, parents must take good care of their children, otherwise it is easy to get infected and cause serious consequences. So, how to take care of a baby who is drooling for more than two months? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Wipe promptly: Once the baby starts drooling, wipe it off immediately with a clean towel. Because the baby's skin is relatively tender, you must be careful when wiping it, and it is best to "dip" it. The small towel you choose should also be a soft, absorbent cotton handkerchief.

Used towels should be washed and ironed frequently, and placed in the sun to sterilize. Avoid using scented wipes to avoid irritating your baby's skin.

2. Wash and apply frequently

Wash the areas where saliva flows frequently with warm water, and apply moisturizer or oil to protect the baby's delicate skin.

3. Change and dry frequently

When the baby drools, his clothes, pillows, bedding, etc. will get wet. Therefore, the baby's clothes should be changed frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria. Pillows, bedding, etc. should also be washed and dried frequently, and dried in the sun to sterilize.

4. Put a bib on your baby

If you want to reduce the number of times you wash clothes, you might as well let your baby wear a bib to prevent saliva from staining clothes. In fact, mothers can also make simple bibs by themselves! But you must choose soft and absorbent cotton products.

Tip: Bibs should be changed and washed frequently to keep them clean and dry.

5. Don’t pinch your baby’s cheeks often

When your baby is drooling, don't always pinch his chubby cheeks when playing with him, as that will stimulate the secretion of the salivary glands and aggravate the baby's drooling.

The above is an introduction on how to care for a baby who is drooling for more than two months. I hope it will be helpful to parents. For a two-month-old baby, frequent drooling is a normal physiological reaction and will last for a certain period of time. Parents should be prepared for this and learn how to care for their children correctly to avoid unnecessary trouble due to improper handling.
