why dose my baby drool?

Answer 1

Following in daddy's footsteps perhaps?

Answer 2

Babies drool, we all know it. Some babies drool more than others, but in general all babies drool and they drool a lot. Thanks to bibs most babies can at least keep their clothes dry throughout the day, but without a bib a baby will be soaking wet from his own drool in no time flat. Its just the way babies are and everyone knows that. But, are you aware of the reason why babies drool so often? Maybe not. Consider the answer below so the next time you see your baby drooling you will better understand why it is happening.

Most babies begin teething when they are between six and eight months of age. However, lots of babies begin drooling non-stop around three months of age. As a new parent you will probably hear a lot of other folks saying that he is just teething and you will think they are crazy because your baby is only a few months old and wont be teething for a while yet. Nevertheless, the teething comment actually has some merit.

Even though the tooth does not actually come through the gum until six to eight months of age, it begins traveling upwards much earlier. Frequently, around three months of age you will notice your little one begins to drool at an amazing rate, wetting bibs every time you turn around. What happens is when the tooth begins traveling through the gum it catalyzes saliva production, which in turn means your baby starts to drool!

Another reason why babies drool so much around this age is because it helps them grow and develop. This seems unbelievable, but it is true. Stomach acid is neutralized by the saliva, the babys intestinal lining is further developed from all that drool, and heals the esophageal lining that may become very irritated from spitting up regularly. In addition, drool has special enzymes that will help your baby begin to digest solid food when he starts eating it around four to six months of age.

Amazing, I know. Who would have thought that all that annoying drool actually played some important roles in the babys development? So, the next time you put a bib on your baby that covers up that really cute outfit remember that your baby isnt just drooling to annoy you. He is drooling because its part of what his little body needs to do at the time to help him grow and develop.

Answer 3

9 out of 10 babies start drooling because they are almost ready to start cutting teeth.

In other words your lil one will soon have teeth coming in. Which means that they may or may not start getting fussier than normal because their gums might hurt them.
Some baby ambesol or oregel will help with that and also some baby pain reliever like Tylenol will help also.

Answer 11

Babies' muscles are not able to coordinate sucking and swallowing solid foods yet. When a baby can sit and reach out for objects, he or she will probably be able to use the mouth muscles to swallow solids as well. This also includes swallowing their own saliva.
