Ten-month-old baby drools a lot

When the baby is ten months old, the mother will notice that the child drools a lot, and every time the saliva flows to the chin, it will cause eczema. This will make the child very uncomfortable, and parents will worry whether it is an abnormal behavior. In fact, if a ten-month-old baby drools a lot, it should be considered a normal phenomenon. Pay attention to keeping the oral cavity clean, train the baby to speak more, and eat some healthy food to relieve the symptoms.

Seven tips for caring for your baby's drooling

The first tip: When the baby drools a lot, the mother should pay attention to taking care of the skin around the baby's mouth and wash it with clean water at least twice a day. Keep your baby's face and neck dry to avoid eczema.

The second trick: use a bib for your baby. Bibs are a special piece of clothing for babies and a good helper for mothers in parenting. Not only can they protect outer clothes from getting dirty, but they are also a kind of decoration. White bibs can also help children develop good habits of cleanliness and hygiene from an early age. In addition, the bib should always be kept clean and dry so that the baby will feel comfortable and happy to use it.

The third trick: Saliva contains some miscellaneous bacteria and amylase and other substances in the mouth, which have a certain irritating effect on the skin. If you don't take good care of it, the skin around the mouth will turn red and small red papules will appear. At this time, you need to apply some baby skin care cream.

Tip 4: 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 it dry.

Tip 5: 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 fabrics are the first choice for bibs.

Tip 6: When the baby's gums are itchy and swollen and the baby's saliva increases during the eruption of deciduous teeth. You can use chewing gums of appropriate hardness and softness for the baby. Babies over 6 months old can chew on some teething biscuits. This can reduce the discomfort of the gums during teething, stimulate the deciduous teeth to erupt as soon as possible, and reduce drooling.

Tip 7: If your skin has already developed rashes or erosions, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. During skin inflammation, the skin should be kept clean and fresh, and treatment should be sought according to symptoms. If antibiotics or antipruritic ointments need to be applied locally, it is best to do so before the baby goes to bed or while the baby is sleeping to prevent the baby from accidentally ingesting them and affecting their health.

Health tips:

Drooling is more obvious during the teething period of infants. During this period, the mouth is an important organ for infants to obtain satisfaction. Increased saliva will reduce the pain of gums.

Mothers do not need to worry too much.
