SIDS is not caused by choking on secretions or spit up. If a baby were to have that kind of event it would be assigned a different cause.

I read that SIDS/suffocation highest risk age is 2-4 months so I'm like hyper paranoid that something will make her stop breathing while sleeping.

I'm not so sure about the teething, though it is a possibility. This is around the time when babies start making more secretions and learning how to swallow them, and sometimes it can be hard for them to manage, so that might be a factor. regberadaisy on "Would you call the Ped about excess drooling/spit up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-the-ped-about-excess-droolingspit-up#post-589300 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:43:09 +0000 regberadaisy 589300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sounds like teething to me too. A lot of babies teeth for months before the first one pops through! loveisstrange on "Would you call the Ped about excess drooling/spit up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-the-ped-about-excess-droolingspit-up#post-589297 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:42:44 +0000 loveisstrange 589297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @PrincessBaby: excess drool can also cause vomiting because it can upset the pH balance in their tummies. And yeah, I thought C was too young for it too but she definitely proved me wrong! It was craziness.

Should I not worry about choking while sleeping if this is normal stuff? ETA: I would be your worst nightmare FTM patient, lol!

I chalked it up to teething because she is still her normal, happy self. I would call the Ped if you noticed a change in behavior, but if not I'd say it's normal.

I thought a she was way too young for teething...She'll be 3 months on Mar 4th...I'm not ready- lol! @Sweet T: Thank you! That makes me feel better! Mrs. Jacks on "Would you call the Ped about excess drooling/spit up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-the-ped-about-excess-droolingspit-up#post-589288 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:38:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 589288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sounds like pretty typical baby stuff. My rule of thumb is if they become more fussy, have a fever or stop eating then go ahead and call. Sweet T on "Would you call the Ped about excess drooling/spit up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-the-ped-about-excess-droolingspit-up#post-589287 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:37:20 +0000 Sweet T 589287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It sounds completely normal to me! The extra drool can definitely lead to spitting up. If she were vomiting, there would be force behind it. I'd call if it seems like that. loveisstrange on "Would you call the Ped about excess drooling/spit up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-the-ped-about-excess-droolingspit-up#post-589284 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:34:55 +0000 loveisstrange 589284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sounds like shes started teething to me. C started at 2 months old with very similar symptoms, she had her first 2 teeth by 4 months. PrincessBaby on "Would you call the Ped about excess drooling/spit up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-call-the-ped-about-excess-droolingspit-up#post-589276 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 18:17:16 +0000 PrincessBaby 589276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I posted earlier about H having her fists in her mouth a lot lately (like right now!), and drooling a lot accompanied by a lot more spitting up. Today, she has spit up probably 8x. It's always white kind of thick looking milk combined with a lot of drool. In the other thread it seemed to be the train of thought that fists in mouth cause excess drool , excess drool causes spitup (full tummy)... She is her normal chatty, giggling, smiling self...Still sticks her tongue out all the time (her fave game), so I know she feels fine...But should I call the Ped? I kind of worry about choking! She chokes on drool/milk sometimes when she's nursing!
