Why's my LO constantly dribbling

CLH_X3 · Oct 4th, 2011, 08:59 AM

I thought she was to young to be teething ...
She constantly chews on her hand aswel but I think that's just her 'finding her hands'
What could this be then ?

I don't know for sure, but it might be teething. Even if you don't see a tooth coming through or any white spots doesn't necessarily mean they aren't teething. My LO was an early dribbler and I constantly blamed it on teething but he didn't get his first tooth until he was 5.5 months! Just keep using bibs, I remember he would drench bibs all the time, he'd go through like 3-4 a day!

Same here - my lo is 12 weeks today and is constantly chewing/suckinghis hands! I know he's not hungry so have been thinking it's teething! Luckily he doesn't seem to be in any discomfort - just loads of dribble lol!

My LO started at 9 weeks and she got her first two teeth at 4.5 months so it's probably teething xx

My Lo is 11 weeks tomorrow and doing all of these, sounds like teething fun

Oliver has been drooling a lot this last week and has his fist in his mouth all the time, I was coming on here to ask if it was teething cos so far no manic crying so Im glad I found this thread.
