medical health digestive disordersIs it normal for newborns to have spit bubbles?
Regarding this, why does my newborn spit bubbles?
Causes and symptoms When these bubbles are suctioned away, they reappear. This symptom occurs when the blind pouch begins to fill with mucus and saliva that would normally pass through the esophagus into the stomach. Instead these secretions back up into the mouth and nasal area, causing the baby to drool excessively.
Also Know, is it normal for my newborn to drool?
When these glands make too much saliva, you may experience drooling. Drooling is normal in the first two years of life. Infants don't often develop full control of swallowing and the muscles of the mouth until they are between 18 and 24 months old. Babies might also drool when they're teething.
While it's true that drooling is very common for children around 2-3 months old, and typically lasts until a child reaches 12-15 months-s (roughly the same age that teething begins) drooling merely means your baby's salivary glands are starting to fire up after not being needed as much when eating easy-to-digest milk.
