Question
How to deal with a three-month-old baby who often drools?
Answer
As the baby grows and their oral functions improve, this excessive drooling will naturally stop, so there is generally no need for treatment. You can frequently wash the area where the drool accumulates with warm water, apply moisturizing cream or oil to protect the baby’s delicate skin. Change the baby’s clothes often to prevent bacterial growth. Also, regularly wash and dry pillows, blankets, and other items, and expose them to sunlight for sterilization. If you want to reduce the frequency of laundry, you might consider putting a bib on the baby to prevent saliva from soiling their clothes. In fact, mothers can also make simple bibs themselves. However, choose soft, absorbent cotton products, and change the bibs often to keep them clean and dry.
