It might be a bit messy (!), but drooling is a common and normal bodily reaction in babies! It's a sign that many important functions are at work in Baby's body. 👶

Drool is important for babies when it comes to:

🔹 Swallowing
🔹 Washing down food residue
🔹 Softening solids
🔹 Digestion
🔹 Preventing tooth decay

Talk to their healthcare provider if you're concerned about Baby's drooling!
