What is the reason why babies spit up all the time?

It is a long process for every child to grow up. Sometimes the growth is also very fast, and the child grows up in the blink of an eye. When the child is young, it is very difficult to raise. Many phenomena will occur. For example, what is the reason why babies spit often? Everyone must have this experience. Every mother will have discovered it. Now let’s take a look at the reasons.

Drooling is common in infants. Some are physiological and some are pathological. They should be distinguished and different measures should be taken to provide good family care. Physiological drooling: The salivary glands of infants aged three or four months gradually mature and the amount of saliva secretion increases. However, the child's swallowing function is not yet perfect, the mouth is shallow, and the lip closure and swallowing movements are not coordinated, so drooling is common. When the child grows to six or seven months, the erupting teeth stimulate the nerves in the mouth, and the salivary glands have matured, saliva is secreted in large quantities, and the phenomenon of drooling becomes more obvious.

Physiological drooling will disappear naturally as the child grows and develops. Pathological drooling occurs when a child suffers from certain oral diseases such as stomatitis, tongue ulcers and pharyngitis. The mouth and pharynx are very painful, and even swallowing saliva is unbearable. The saliva cannot be swallowed normally and keeps flowing out. At this time, the saliva that flows out is often yellow or pink and has a bad smell. When parents discover this situation, they should take their children to the hospital for examination and treatment.

Many babies under one year old spit out saliva, like a little crab, with bubbles often piled around their little mouths. Many parents are worried that this habit may be related to their baby’s health. Doctors say that drooling is common in infancy, but some is physiological and some is pathological. Physiological drooling will naturally disappear as the child grows and develops. If it is pathological, parents should take the child to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
