10 week old dribbling a lot..normal?

[Secretlifeofme]

My 10 week old is constantly dribbling and has started sucking on her hands. Could this be a sign of something like reflux (which we think she may have), could she possibly be teething at this early stage, or is this just normal? Thanks in advance!

probably the start of teething its fine

My DD dribbled like a rabid dog until she was 2.5, bless her. Those bandana style bib things are brilliant for soaking it up and keeping their clothes dry. Ordinary bibs don't seem to work as the dribbles run underneath.

Congratulations on your lovely baby! Mine is now 9 and is no longer a dribble queen

Completely normal! Get used to mopping it up, it carries on for some time 🙂

Oh, and my DD had reflux but that didn't cause the dribbling at all. Think it was a mixture of early teething which then lasted forever, and being so busy smiling and giggling that she would forget to swallow her spit.

Teething can begin at any age, some babies are even born with a tooth or two!
