    Dribbling Heaps

    Our bubba girl is just over 2mths old and is Dribbling Heaps!
    She does have silent reflux and has been on Infant Gaviscon which we are slowly weening her off it - could the dribbling be from the reflux?
    I know its far too early for her to be teething -
    Is alot of Dribbling at this age normal?

    DD2 doesn't have reflux and she dribbles like a tap! So yep it is completely normal, just need to have a good supply of bibs.

    Ash started dribbling at 3 months, so it's normal. Their teeth move around before they actually break through, sometimes for months! So it could be teething. I have found since Ash started dribbling at 3 months, he has also discovered a love to chew ANYTHING and everything, fingers and toys included, so I think he is teething.

    Invest in some good bibs lol I have got a little system here, those smock bibs with a normal bib over the top, change the top one when it's soaked and still have dry clothes lol

    I think my son started to dribble a lot around 2 months. I was then shocked to find it got way worse at around 3 months. He's teething now & crawling so I constantly find wet patches on my carpet. Not nice.
