Infant at 50 Days Old Likes to Stick Out Their Tongue, with a Little Bubble at the Corner of the Mouth: What’s Happening?

Question

When an infant is 50 days old, they like to stick out their tongue, and there’s a little bubble at the corner of their mouth. What’s going on?

Answer

Infants around two months old may stick out their tongues and produce small bubbles, which is a normal sign of saliva glands secreting saliva. It’s important to wipe away these drool to prevent small red spots from forming around the mouth.
