A. drooling of saliva is a common symptom when baby is getting their teeth . more over putting finger in the mouth can also be due to gum irritation when getting teeth or due to hunger or it is a way to pacify themselves so not to worry

A. no problem at all...that's common.....give a teether....so that they keep biting teether instead of fingers

Q. My about to be 3 months old baby keeps sucking his fingers, even if he his hungry or not, what to do? Whenever I stop him from sucking he keeps crying. I tried using mittens but he keeps sucking even mittens. 3 days ago even though I cut his nails he injured the hard palate inside mouth with his fingernails and there was blood, therefore I am afraid of letting him suck his fingers anymore. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
