What's with the foam at the mouth??

When Sam sits in his swing, and sometimes when he is sleeping, he'll have a little foam on his lips - almost like he's blowing bubbles.  Is this just saliva, and if so, how much is normal? 

He spits up maaaaybe once a day and is generally not a burpy guy, so I don't think it's a reflux symptom (which is what Dr. Google gave me). 

So does your LO "foam at the mouth" a bit?

    Lucy does this a ton!  She blows bubbles that are sometimes foamy and drippy.  I thought it was just saliva and assumed it was pretty normal :)

    Love that pic of Sam - he is such a cutie!

    Awww thanks!!  GL with the 5K by the way! I started running again, but got sidelined by my stupid boob injury.  I want to start up again, but like you - I need to teach Sam to love the BOB.  Really it's the carseat that's the problem.  He just hates being in it. Funny - he often stops crying if I run, versus walk.  But I'm not ready to run more than a few minutes solid yet!

    Anyway, have a blast - I can't wait to run a short race.

    That's a great link Mrs/ Presley.  Thanks.

    Both Sam and Nate do the foaming at the mouth thing.  I'm glad you asked b/c I was wondering myself.

    GL with the run jm.  I was ambitious and signed up for a 10-miler in June.  I don't know what I was thinking.  I haven't run in over a year and a half.

    I'm sooooo glad this question was posted!!  My ds has been doing it a little bit here but today he did a bunch and I got really worried.  I was going to call the pedi tomorrow.  I was afraid it was a symptom of something serious.

    I need to stop being paranoid.  Thanks to the bump, a lot of my ridiculous fears get stomped before I look like a fool asking the Dr.  LOL.
