I'm drowning!

...in baby drool! I can't believe I'm writing this but I can't keep up with my 5 month olds drooling. He drools constantly, soaking through bib after bib!!! We can't hold him without spitballs falling on us, everything his mouth touches is stained or wet with drool! When will it stop?! Is this normal?
He's my second and my first used to drool a lot too but this one is on another level!

DC1 drooled heaps. Many many bibs a day. We just ended up cycling about 6 a day and drying on radiator in between as it was ridiculous. As she got older and was walking we got the bandana style bibs otherwise her clothes we permanently soaked at her chest. Went to GP who referred to ENT Consultant around the age of 3 ish. He said wait as usually by 4 it sorted itself out. And it did.

DC3 had lots of saliva but it all stayed in his mouth. Caused issues, along with other things, with his speech. He was under speech therapy by 4.5 ish. Ended up getting his adenoids out around age of 7 and that stopped all the excessive saliva in his mouth.

Other 2 children had no issues. Each one just different.
