The pediatrician just looked at me like I was an idiot. But they tell you to report unsusal behavior if you see it after your baby gets vaccinated. My daughter was 3 mos. when she got her first set of vaccination shots. They could've changed the dates so she could be on schedule like the rest of the world but that's not the point. I taught her to stick out her tongue. After she got the shots she started sticking it out & licking more than usual. She also started to produce more saliva. I should know my baby enough to know this isn't usual for her. The doctors just looked at me like I was retarded & said it was usual for this to occur at 3 mos. But it only started after she got her shots. Is it normal for a child to do this at 3 months?

I think that there was a coincidence of the time your child got the vaccinations and the time 3 month olds start producing more saliva and drooling. Alot of children start teething at 3 months cutting their first tooth, and i think your pediatrician was retarded for not informing you of that, so don't worry hunny, as a mother of 4, I have been there and done that and all of my friends call me when they are having their first child or have had their first child for tips and advice, I hope I helped you out, I truly think its a "coinkydink" the little one may be teething or starting to.
"What to Expect
Tooth development
Primary teeth are usually known as "baby teeth." Usually, the first primary tooth comes in (erupts) at about 6 months of age, although it can be as early as 3 months or as late as 1 year of age. In rare cases, a baby gets a first tooth after his or her first birthday. By age 3, most children have all 20 of their primary teeth.

Yeah I remember my kids doing that and producing alot more saliva than usual could be a sign she is beginning to teeth. Which is also normal for some 3 month olds. Dont worry about it. Ive had 4 babies and every month they start doing something weird that you wonder about, but its normal. If your doctor doesnt seem concerned, its probably because he knows that is normal. If you dont feel comfortable listening to him, then get to another pediatrician to ask them about it to play it safe and put your mind at ease.

Have had two children and that is the normal time for them to do that. It just so happen that she received her shots at the same time. Don't ever think a question about your child is dumb it is your child and like it or not the doctor has a responsibility to you to answer any questions you may have.

Cold tea for a baby? She could be teething, that usually is a time for excessive saliva.

Yes, it is usual. It's also about when some babies start teething which can cause an increase in drooling.

She just sounds thirsty or could be a sign of hunger. Ask your doc if you can give her limited amt of water or cold tea.
