I mean seriously? This is what our shirts look like about 4 minutes after I put them on. He would win gold for the most slobber exiting the mouth within a 24 hour period! I know it's from his second molars coming in, but I made the mistake the other day of googling "excessive drooling". Why do I do that to myself? A website popped up with suggestions that our toddler could have mouth and tongue weaknesses and or large tonsils or adenoids.
I'm just going to listen to my instincts that tell me once these last 2 teeth come in he will be done slobbering all over. We have changed all of this sippy cups out with those that include a straw to build up the muscles so hopefully that helps. But for now, I'll continue to be thankful that my baby is an easy teether and doesn't really get fussy or sick like other babies. I will, however, look forward to the day he can wear a nice shirt and it not be drenched before we even leave the house!


Marcus isn't teething, yet, and he a is drool machine! I can't wait to see how slobbery things get once teeth do start coming in.
ReplyDeleteI love him anyway!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally commenting on an old post. I remember reading this and just went searching for it. Tay has started drooling uncontrollably the past week or so. Daycare has been swapping out her shirt halfway through the day - it has been so bad.
ReplyDeleteShe still has her canines to come in, so I'm wondering if that is what is causing it. But I just wanted to reference Drew's age (I think he's almost 19 months here - Tay is 17 months) for reassurance. Because you know - that's what crazy blog moms do. :)
