Just wondering if its normal for a 7 weeker to dribble like a river? Shes always dribbling and having bubbles at her mouth she doesnt seem upset by it but i was just wondering if its normal? Or if it could be her reflux? Its only just started about a week ago...
TIA |

| It could be teething. I can't remember when Jack started dribbling but I do know he used to dribble heaps especially when he was smiling and excited about something and he still has no teeth. It could be a reflux thing but I'm pretty sure its quite normal. |

| Jake was relatively dry unless teething, but Taine was constantly emitting lines of drool. I have a great pic of him in his jolly jumper with a line of drool hanging down - of course he was alittle older though. If she doesn't seem upset, I wouldn't worry. Mention it to your plunket nurse on the next check, but i would say it is probably nothing. |

Some babies just dribble like maniacs. Could just be that you are going to have a permanently soggy child

Yeah my Ella was constantly soggy from about a couple of months old. She didn't get teeth for ages after the drooling started. It was so depressing dressing her up in really cute girly outfits and then covering her up with plastic backed bibs!
If your Ella turns out to be a gooby baby, I'd invest in an industrial size tub of barrier cream as they get wicked dribble rash on their chins and necks.  ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

When babies are a couple of months old (ish!) their saliva glands start working more so they dribble lots! Many, many well meaning older folk will tell you that your baby is teething, but its prob not! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Bib on for most of the day (except when sleeping) or the karicare barrier cream works well!
EDIT: Olivia started drooling then as well, there is a thread on EBB Parenting board, I can bump it for you. ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

Aqueous Cream is cheap and effective, and comes in big giant tubs! My Dr reccomended it for Ella's dribble rash.  ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:
