Oh the drool!!!

Maycee will be 7 weeks Sunday and has been drooling so much for the last few days I've had to put a bib on her or she soaks her clothes! I hate to see when she starts teething! Anybody else dealing with this yet?

My LO is 5wks and the only drool I deal with is when he sucks on my arm. Haha

Yes! This just started the last few days. I had to put a bib on dd too. She'll be 5 weeks on Monday. That's way too young to be teething, right?

In most cases, yes. It is usually around 2-4 months that some of the glands start going. Namely the saliva and tear ones. They can be kinda out of control at first.

Speaking of tears, i read somewhere that babies don't make tears until they are several weeks old, but my LO has been shedding tears since she was born. She doesn't make them with every type of cry, but if she is actually distressed (not just whining) then they flow.

And she is almost 5 weeks and has also started drooling. I forgot to ask the pediatrician yesterday if that meant teeth were coming soon. Uh oh!

That makes sense. I did notice the other day she had tears when she got mad. My other two kids didnt get teeth until almost a year old so I would be shocked if that's what it is!

This is us! 6.5 wks and the drool/bubbles is out of control. She also has one tear duct starting to work which makes me sad. I thought I had more time before the tears came

No drooling here. DD will be 6 weeks on Wednesday. I noticed some tears today. No full out running down her cheeks, but you could see it in her eyes.
