Dr. Justin Greiwe answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

2 Months: At around 2 months your baby's salivary glands will start to work and your baby will begin to drool. This does not mean, however, that your baby is teething. Teeth start coming in a few weeks later. You will be going through a lot of bibs during this period so get ready!
