Question
The baby always keeps her mouth open and drools. Seeking help: My baby has been constantly opening her mouth and drooling lately. What’s going on?
Answer
Drooling in babies is normal, as this is the time when they are teething. Their gums are itchy, which causes the drooling. Another reason is that it’s a sign of their desire to eat, as little ones are transitioning into the eating stage. Since children can eat many things by the time they reach six months old, there’s no need to worry about your baby’s drooling; it’s a stage every infant goes through.
