No matter what the baby does and the expression is very cute, even if it is drooling, it also makes people feel very cute.
Many attentive mothers will find that sometimes the baby will always be drooling, and when eating, in a daze, and playing, they will also drool.
Regardless of time and place, mothers always need to change a lot of saliva towels. Some moms believe that drooling means that their baby is about to start teething, and many moms are worried because they find that their baby does not have teething.
What's going on here?
1. The baby's swallowing function is not perfect
The baby's body organs have not yet matured and are still in the growth stage. The baby cannot swallow the saliva produced in the mouth in time, and the saliva accumulates more and more in the baby's mouth, forming saliva.
And the baby has no awareness of the saliva, a mouth, the saliva naturally flows out.
2. The development of salivary glands gradually matures
When the baby is three or four months old, the saliva will increase, which indicates that the baby's salivary glands are gradually developing and maturing;
When the baby is four or five months old, the mother will find that the baby's saliva has increased a little, which is also a normal physiological phenomenon.
3. The baby eats starchy foods
When the baby is born, he eats breast milk or drinks milk powder, which generally does not stimulate the baby's salivary glands too much.
But after 4 months of the baby, many mothers will prepare some complementary foods for the baby to eat, such as noodles, rice porridge and so on.
This type of food contains starch, which stimulates your baby's salivary glands to secrete a lot of saliva, which helps your baby digest starchy foods. So the baby's saliva naturally increased.
4. The baby begins to grow small deciduous teeth
In addition to the above three common reasons, there is also a reason that many mothers say that drooling is because the baby has begun to grow small deciduous teeth.
The baby will grow teeth at six or seven months, and the teeth will stimulate the baby's salivary glands and the nerves in the mouth, and the baby will secrete a lot of saliva, which can protect the baby's mouth from the problem of tooth decay.
The above four reasons are normal physiological phenomena, and mothers do not have to worry, which is what occurs in the growth process of every baby.
Parents should pay attention to cleaning the baby's saliva in time, so that the baby's skin remains dry and avoid the baby getting eczema. In addition to these, the baby is always drooling and may be sick.
First of all, the baby's constant drooling may be damaged to the oral mucosa, mouth ulcers and other conditions. At this time, parents should quickly take the baby to the hospital for treatment, so as not to affect the baby's normal eating
Secondly, if the baby suddenly increases saliva in a few days, can not eat well, and has runny nose, cold and even fever symptoms, it means that the baby is likely to have an inflamed throat, once the throat is inflamed, the baby's swallowing becomes very difficult and painful.
Therefore, in this case, parents must not take it lightly, and they must seek medical treatment in time to avoid further aggravation of the condition and affect the baby's trachea.
Recommendation: The baby's total love to drool is not only a normal physiological phenomenon, but also a problem with the baby's physical health.
Therefore, parents must carefully observe the baby's drooling to see if the baby is sick.
