How much drooling is normal for a 3-4 month baby?

I am might sound a bit paranoid but I m honestly very stressed! I have a 4+ month baby and since he was 2 months old he is drooling a lot and non stop. This is my second baby so I remember that this usually happens during teething but he is so young. The GP also confirmed he is not teething. Is it normal from that early on or is it a sign for something worse.

It's around three months that their saliva glands, kick in, so it doesn't necessarily mean that they are teething. X

@erakakitzi I hear you! My 8-month old has been non stop drooling since he was rolling. He's also a very sicky baby compared to my first. I call him the slobber monster! He is putting on weight and thriving though, so I assuming it's just him.
