A Drool-worthy Photo

Newborns start drooling around their second or third month. It happens because the young tots haven’t fully developed control over the muscles responsible for swallowing. It isn’t a cause for alarm because it indicates that your bundle of joy has a digestive system that’s functioning as it should.

Remember that saliva helps to break down food and cleans the mouth, so to speak, which prevents your tot from getting sick. Your munchkin will keep drooling constantly until turning 18 to 24 months old. This drool-worthy photo is a prime example of the realities that come with having a happy and healthy young one.
