How dribbly is your baby?
S is so dribbly, it's crazy. The hv had a check of his gums today and said that she couldn't feel any teeth so I guess he's just a dribbly baby but we easily go through 4/5 bibs a day and his clothes get soaked. Every time he smiles the drool just falls out of his mouth! Normal?

My son was so dribbly!! Bibs, regular changes of clothes. It was neverending. It would hang from his mouth at times. Sounds horrible when I describe it but we were just used to it
O is really dribbling at the mo, can't see any teeth either. He's always got his hands in his mouth so there's a constant stream soaking his clothes!
Really really really dribbly! I put a dribble bib on and within 10 minutes its soaked! And I don't know about S but its making her reflux worse so she's being sick loads too! My washing pile is ridiculous!!!
Same here!! Soaking her bibs & clothes. R is also a clothes sucker, wet & dribble everywhere!
Ashton teething powders are good for drying it up. Not sure if all teething powders are the same but Ashton's stops the excess dribbling even when not teething.
Good to know it's not just S! We went to a zumbini class yesterday and where I was walking around jiggling him and he was grinning like a loon, there was a massive trail of drool all over the floor!
TP will definitely try those powders, they sound good. I worry his chin might get a bit sore sometimes.
Yep I have a dribbly one too! It's ridiculous! He never used to be and then at 3 months suddenly became a very wet child! He's learned how to blow raspberries today, dear lord they are messy.
Popcorn, I can't remember what milk is S is on but just be careful if he's lactose intolerant/cmpi as the powders are lactose based. A can't have them and its a nightmare as they were aN absolute godsend with E! x
Thanks mamaD I hadn't realised that. He's on aptamil comfort which has the lactose broken down so I'll make sure I check anything - good point though! I think I read somewhere that dribbliness can be a symptom of reflux so I guess that explains why you, me + Tina have popped up on this thread!
My son who had extremely awful reflux and then has been diagnosed with a type of coeliac disease was horrendously dribbly.
