Yeah, my son drooled a bit and I assumed it was due to lack of oral motor stimulation.
Tip:
- Eat food with different texture/ flavour/ temp
- Use brushes that offer stimulation
- Games: use straw cups instead of sippy cups
- Blow cotton balls or fruit loops on the table with his mouth, then straw
- Offer thicker liquids that he has to suck through a straw
Kids will grow out of it - says most medical practitioners. Other reasons I heard of usually involve (very) slight speech issues and/ or airway issues (tonsils). Seems like your child is not facing that especially since you went to a PD?
Have you been to the dentist to check whether he’s developing an underbite/ overbite?
My son has an overbite (like me, hello braces! Haha)
Meantime: Stock up on bibs and towels. *hugs*
