A 50-day-old baby spits out their tongue and has a small amount of foam at the corners of their mouth. How can this be treated?

Patient's question:

She likes to stick out her tongue, there are a few small bubbles at the corners of her mouth. Is there a problem with her respiratory tract?
I want to drink some juice, yogurt, is that okay?

Doctor's answer:

Around two months old, babies often stick out their tongues and make small bubbles. This is a normal sign of salivary gland secretion. It's important to wipe away this saliva, as it can prevent small red spots from appearing around the baby's mouth.
