Answer 1

your baby is the age where she will start cutting teeth  no signs yet but thats why..

Answer 2

The muscles at the sides of her mouth have not strengthened enough yet.  SOOOOOOO, get some whistles / party blowers, blow bubbles,  things like that. . Within a few weeks there will be a dramatic improvement, but you have to have her pracise blowing into them every day.

Answer 3

Hi, baby teeth, especially molars, can take ages to come through so this is the most likely cause. Of course, if you are worried you should get the doctor to check things out. In the mean time keep the area around her mouth and neck clean and dry and ask your doctor for treatment if there is any sign of infection or the area becomes very sore, best wishes, Clare.

Answer 4

THE CHILD JUST MIGHT BE PRODUCING EXTRA SALVIA  IN HER MOUTH , KEEP THE DOCS APPOINTMENT THEY WELL MAYBE A MEDICAL REASON  FOR IT , ISNT THERE A MAN THAT YOU WOULD SEE ON TV I THINK HE SPEAKS FOR / ABOUT THE ROYAL   FAMILY HE  HAS  THIS  PROBLEM .

Answer 5

Even though you can't see the molars crowning.. she could still be teething.. it is the most common reason for drooling..

Answer 6

My brother used to drool even though he had teeth.  Your kid will probably grow out of it. Put a bib on the baby to protect his/her neck/shirt and just try and keep a towel nearby to dry the rest of the drool.

Answer 7

It has to be teething.  My daughter is 4 1/2.  She lost her two bottom front teeth a few months ago.  She got her baby teeth early, and so the dentist says that she is getting her permanent teeth early.  Any how,  she has been drooling and has the exact same rash/pimple like things on her chin and the side of her mouth.  I am not sure that you can really make her stop.  I would just try to keep her face dry.  I am looking for something to do to help the rash, and the following link is all that I have found so far, but I think that I am going to try it.
