4 month old baby taking out saliva from her mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Babies: At 4 months of age, babies tend to drool (saliva comes out of mouth) and they love to put their hands in their mouths. It is normal for them to do this. This will likely continue to occur for several more months - getting worse when they start teething. It's all very normal.
