POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. Chewing on hands and increased saliva in a 3-month-old baby can be common and may indicate a few things:
1. Teething:
Although teething usually begins around 6 months, some babies may start showing signs earlier. Chewing is a natural way to relieve gum discomfort.
2. Exploration:
Babies explore the world through their mouths. Chewing on hands is a normal part of their development as they learn about their bodies.
3. Saliva Production:
Increased saliva production can occur as babies' digestive systems develop, even before teething.
Tips for Comfort:
Teething Toys: Provide safe teething toys to chew on.
Wipe Excess Saliva: Keep a cloth handy to wipe away saliva to prevent skin irritation.
If you have concerns about excessive drooling or other symptoms, it's always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician.
