Patient's question:
The baby always has their mouth open and drools. The kind of help you care about: My baby has recently been constantly keeping their mouth open and drooling. What's going on with this?Doctor's answer:
The baby always has their mouth open and drools. Drooling is normal for babies at this stage because they are teething, and their gums are itchy, which is why they drool. Another reason is that their saliva production is a sign that they are ready to eat, as they are growing bigger and transitioning to the stage of eating solid foods. By the time they are six months old, they can eat many different things. So, you don’t need to worry about them drooling, because it is a natural phase that all babies go through.
