My 1 yr old drools a lot while she babbles..is that normal??

Some possible causes of excess drooling include: - Teething, which results in more saliva production. - Poor oral sensory awareness, resulting in decreased triggering of swallowing. If a child’s face is constantly wet, he may be less responsive to sensory cues that signal a need to swallow. - A constant open-mouth posture, which prevents saliva from building up and triggering swallowing as needed. - Difficulty swallowing efficiently, which may be due to poor head and trunk control, poor jaw stability, or increased or decreased muscle tone in the lips. - A response to certain foods. - A response to motor activities that require balance. - A possible side effect from specific medications. It is recommended by some to consult a speech therapist to find out whether your baby is drooling excessively and the possible cause of it. A friend of mine was informed by her therapist that her baby had low muscle tone and was advised to help improve that by teaching her baby to use a straw for drinking. The drooling decreased after a period of time. She is further advised to use an electric toothbrush to help increase the baby’s awareness (within the mouth by “brushing” the inside of such as the cheeks, roof and tongue) but has yet to try that.

Tell me about it. My 7 month old drools and babbles all the time. I have also noticed that she's been biting on her fingers and mine very often. I think she should be teething. There's also an interesting reason why babies drool - it's to help them with development. The saliva helps to neutralise stomach acid and helps in the development of the intestinal lining. The drool also has special enzymes that helps baby to digest their food when they start talking in solids. http://www.thelaboroflove.com/articles/why-do-babies-drool

While it's true that drooling is very common for children around 2-3 months old, and typically lasts until a child reaches 12-15 months(roughly the same age that teething begins) drooling merely means your baby's salivary glands are starting to fire up after not being needed as much when eating easy-to-digest milk.

Drooling is normal in the first two years of life. Infants don't often develop full control of swallowing and the muscles of the mouth until they are between 18 and 24 months old. Babies might also drool when they're teething.

Drooling and blowing bubbles is common in babies during the phase of development. The increased flow of saliva that often signals the appearance of a new tooth seems to soothe tender gums
