Most of the times you will find babies drooling and wetting their clothes. Before understanding the reasons which make them drool we need to understand what saliva is and what its function is. Saliva is a natural oral secretion which helps in keeping our mouth wet and aids in digesting food. Saliva also keeps washing teeth and keeps germs and dirt away. In addition, saliva also lubricates the lining of esophagus and keeps the acidity reflux controlled in children. It also contains a healthy substance called epidural growth factor which helps the intestinal lining mature fast.
