Newborn drooling and blowing bubbles

Many first-time mothers are very curious about their baby's every move, and they are also worried about any changes in the baby, fearing that there will be some problems with the baby's body. Some mothers will find that their newborns are always drooling and blowing bubbles, and they look like goldfish, but they don’t know what’s going on. So, what is going on when a newborn drools and spits bubbles?

Reasons why newborns spit bubbles

Because the trachea of ​​a newborn is short, narrow and funnel-shaped, when the baby exhales, the gas in the lungs rushes out through the narrow trachea, and the sputum in the trachea is flushed out of the mouth through the short respiratory tract. Bubbles are produced when the gas passes through the dirty sputum.

The central nervous system and salivary glands of newborns are still immature, and the amount of saliva secreted is small. At 3-4 months, the salivary glands begin to develop and the amount of saliva secretion increases. However, the baby's oral cavity is relatively shallow at this time, the swallowing ability is not fully developed, the movements of lip closing and swallowing are not coordinated, and the excess saliva in the mouth cannot be regulated, so drooling and spitting bubbles are prone to occur. No treatment required, it will go away on its own!

For newborns, especially those who are very young, the symptoms of pneumonia are not obvious. Generally, there is no cough, the body temperature does not rise, and it may even be lower than normal! Sometimes the only thing that can be observed is the phenomenon of "bubbles at the mouth" or gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea.

Judging from the above characteristics, if the baby spit bubbles, it should be paid attention to. If the baby is less than three months old, it is likely to be a symptom of pneumonia; if it is three or four months old, it is mostly normal. Whether there are signs of pneumonia can be further judged from the baby's breathing, eating, mental state, and whether there are other abnormal conditions to further decide whether to see a doctor.
