Hi I just want to know whether excessive drooling in 3 months old baby is safe or is there any reason?

A. Babies, however, don’t develop full control over their swallowing muscles and the muscles around the mouth until they are between 18 and 24 months. Hence: baby = drool faucet. drooling is very common for children around 2-3 months old, and typically lasts until a child reaches 12-15 months-s (roughly the same age that teething begins)  Sometimes drool can lead to a rash around the mouth, To keep drool from getting in contact with baby’s skin, do wipe the drool off often with a soft, gently cloth.

A. hi drooling of saliva is seen very commonly in teething. sometimes there can be more production of saliva and immature swallowing reflex so they drool saliva more. wipe off with clean soft towel and keep area dry to prevent occurrence of dribble rashes

A. you do not worry this is a very normal thing and the drooling of saliva is because the child is not able to take the saliva inside properly sometime and many a times because of some throat infection this may increase to do not worry just tried to maintain proper hygiene for your child

A. drooling is part of the teething process. Having a teething ring, fingers or other objects in the mouth produces saliva. To prevent skin irritation, keep a clean cloth handy to dry your baby's chin. Consider applying a moisturizer such as a water based cream or lotion.
