We were super lucky in that it didn't affect his latch and hasn't seemed to affect his speech so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50354 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:12:16 +0000 Rubies 50354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: LO was snipped when she was 2 days old because she couldn't latch onto my boob and so hadn't eaten in 48 hours. It helped a LOT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50343 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:02:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 50343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I read that it does cause more drool. Our dentist has recommended that RJ and Rob Sr. come in for father/son frenectomies... haha. Apparently they do it with a laser so it doesn't hurt or bleed at all. We're considering it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50342 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:02:11 +0000 chopsuey 50342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M isn't much of a drooler. Even when she was teething she drooled just a little bit when her first tooth came in but hasn't drooled with 2-6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50340 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:00:48 +0000 Rubies 50340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: LO was tongue-tied, too. Is that what causes so much drool? Hm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50329 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:53:11 +0000 BoogieBea 50329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is a drooler as well. All her photos has drool hanging off of her lip/chin also. We have to double up on her bibs now just so she doesn't get her clothes soaked. Even still, I'm changing her bibs all the time. I thought it was teeth too. There's been two white spots on her bottom gums for a month now. Still hasn't broken out.</p> <p>@tina: My son has a short frenulum as well. Oddly, he was never a drooler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50316 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:40:00 +0000 Sha 50316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine is 16 months and still drooling...i think it's decreased a little bit from when he was younger but it's still way more than other kids i've seen around his age. he still has to wear a bib every day or his shirts will get super gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50298 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:52:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 50298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>25 months today and still needs at least one bib change a day. He has an attached frenum (tongue-tied), as is Rob Sr., and Rob Sr. needed a bib until he was 3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50274 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:22:47 +0000 Red 50274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is 13 months now and still drools buckets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50273 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:21:52 +0000 heffalump 50273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: so does my lo! My husband's friend made fun of us because she was full of drool in our holiday card... but we have no pictures without drool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50264 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:16:05 +0000 Rubies 50264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every picture I take of LO, she has a huge drooly-drool hanging off her chin. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50202 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:43:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 50202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>andrea is right (i already forgot). charlie drooled a lot those early months before he got his first tooth (at 7 months). after that it greatly reduced. i don't think he was a big drooler though because we never had to put a bib on him. and some kids just drool a lot more than others! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50193 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:26:47 +0000 Andrea 50193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO stopped drooling by the time she got her first tooth around 7-8 months I think. I think every kid is different. Some drool longer than others it seems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50191 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 10:18:29 +0000 Mrs. Bee 50191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm i think charlie stopped drooling around 13 months when he got his molars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-they-stop-drooling#post-50168 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:23:59 +0000 Rubies 50168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is a drooler. She started drooling like a mother at 3 months, which led me to believe she was teething. She hasn't sprouted a tooth yet (she's almost 5.5 months now) but she's showing signs. We go through bibs like there's no tomorrow.</p> <p>Once she sprouts a tooth, will the drooling stop until her next tooth is ready to come out? Or, is she a drooler for life?</p> <p>Do they ever stop drooling? </p>
