What is the reason for a one-month-old baby to spit bubbles?

The baby has been developing for more than one month. Recently, the mother found that the baby always loves to spit bubbles. So what is the matter with a one-month-old baby spitting bubbles? What should I do if the baby spits bubbles? What is the purpose of the baby's drooling? The following editor will give you a detailed introduction.

What is the reason for a one-month-old baby to spit bubbles?

It is a normal physiological reaction for a one-month-old baby to spit bubbles. Most babies secrete less saliva during the confinement period. After the full month, as the age increases, the baby's physiological functions also increase, and the saliva also increases. When the saliva increases and they cannot swallow, they will discharge the saliva in the form of bubbles. In fact, the bubbles are the baby's saliva. When the baby reaches 3 months old, the saliva continues to increase, and the phenomenon of spitting bubbles becomes more obvious. In fact, the baby's saliva secretion is also ready for the addition of complementary foods. The baby's saliva is the digestive fluid of starchy foods. They can help the baby digest complementary foods. If the baby's saliva is not sufficient, starchy foods cannot be digested. As long as the baby simply drools, does not have a fever or cough, and develops normally, there is no problem. However, children with cerebral palsy will also drool and spit bubbles, but most of these babies are accompanied by other obvious symptoms of illness, so parents do not need to worry about normal babies spitting bubbles.

What should I do if my one-month-old baby keeps spitting bubbles?

Although it is a normal physiological phenomenon for babies to spit bubbles, it does not mean that parents can completely ignore it. When babies drool and spit bubbles, their necks and chests will be wet, and the area around the corners of their mouths is often wet. If the mother does not wipe the baby's saliva in time, the baby's skin will be in a moist state for a long time, causing some skin diseases. Therefore, parents should always prepare a gauze handkerchief to wipe the baby's saliva during the drooling period, and change the baby's clothes in time. It is best to put a bib on the baby's pad. Because the baby is young and has soft bones, it is easy to sprain the waist when changing clothes frequently, and it will also catch a cold and get sick. Therefore, it is much more convenient to change the bib. The bib is easier to take off and clean. It is recommended that new mothers prepare a few more bibs for the baby. Babies start to sprout teeth at 4 months old. In order to alleviate the phenomenon of drooling, new mothers can prepare some teething sticks and teething biscuits for the baby to relieve the discomfort of the baby's gums, so that the saliva will flow less.

The role of baby drooling

Although it is annoying for babies to drool all the time, the role of drool in the baby's growth cannot be ignored.

For babies in the teething period, saliva can lubricate the gum tissue that is broken by the teeth and reduce the chance of inflammation around the teeth.

Saliva can effectively keep the baby's mouth moist

Saliva not only stimulates the baby's taste buds, but also acts as a lubricant to help the baby swallow.

Baby drooling helps promote lip and tongue activity and promotes baby's speech

Saliva can keep the baby's mouth and teeth clean. The cell-free film formed by saliva on the teeth has antibacterial effects and helps prevent the baby from getting cavities.
