red chin - dribbling - teething?

[Doing my best]

Hi,

It is possibly teething, but around this age bubs get a lot of the signs such as constant dribbling, putting hands in mouth and becoming a bit unsettled..

Vaseline is a good barrier for the rash, but unless it is bothering DD (which so far, she has never been bothered by a rash), I just leave it be..

Vasoline is a petrochemical I wouldnt use it. Lanolin would be much better.

I would see a traditional chinese medicine practitioner, I think it means lots of heat in the body. My sister took her bub to Sharmaine at BellyBelly and he stopped drooling and he was a terrible drooler. He loved the taste of the herbs too, they are sweet childrens herbs.

My DD used to get the drool rash on her chest (like a spotty rash) but when when she hit about 3 1/2 months she started with the red cheeks and chin. I put it down to teething.. My Gp told me to use lanolin or bepanthem but i found leaving it worked just as well... I give her a soft toy or face washer to suck on which soaks up the drool.

Ok now I feel like a dill suggesting vaseline LOL. I use lanoline for my lips and it works very well (and seems to repel water too), so go with that. It is natural
