Excessive drool at 17 months?

UMichGirl · November 2013

DS just turned 17 months and he drools like a MAD MAN. We always have to have a bib on him, otherwise his neckline/chest area of his shirt gets soaked. Some days are worse than others, but we still have to keep a bib on him all the time. We brought it up at his 12 and 15 month well visits and were basically told some babies drool more than others. He doesn't have all his teeth yet, so I know SOME of it could be teething but it just seems excessive. He talks up a storm, eats just fine (although he does like to shove as much food in his mouth as possible sometimes but I think that's normal) so I don't know that there's anything wrong with his mouth per se...but anyone else have experience with this? We will for sure bring it up again at his 18 month well visit if it keeps up. Ever since he turned 3 months old he's been a drooler!

We wipe at his chin and mouth all the time. He's already soaked through one bib today and it's only 10am!!! I'm hoping some teeth come through and it slows down a bit. He's like a St Bernard when it comes to drool!!!
