Question

Why does a 3-month-old baby salivate?

Answer

A 3-month-old baby’s drooling may be due to increased saliva gland secretion and incomplete swallowing function. When the baby starts to consume starch-based foods like rice porridge, saliva secretion is stimulated and increases. Although this is a normal phenomenon, if you are concerned or have any doubts, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
