The wet shirt, the open mouth and the saliva that adorns each collar - if any of this reminds you of your child, he probably suffers from marior. Small babies tend to sneeze, but as the phenomenon persists to later ages it is advisable to consult a medical professional and professionals in order to diagnose and treat it. Shani Cohen Eisenstein, an early childhood movement counselor, an infant development counselor with a master's degree in early childhood counseling and guidance, explains the reasons for salivation in children aged 2 and up and what you can do to help them get rid of it:

The main cause of salivation in children is low muscle tension.

Muscular tension usually characterizes all the organs of the body as well as the muscles of the mouth, neck and shoulder girdle that help stabilize the muscles of the mouth and jaw.

This is the reason why poor posture, drooping shoulders and a sloping head are often added to salivation.

Another cause of salivation can be due to numbness in the mouth area.

Children who suffer from it sometimes choke on their own saliva because they do not pay attention to salivation.

Even in such a situation it is worth seeing whether the numbness characterizes the rest of the body.

How can Brior be treated?

It is important to work on strengthening the body muscles and with an emphasis on strengthening the shoulder girdle by various gymnastics classes or performing climbing, hanging or crawling skills that usually exist in the playground. To strengthen the muscles of the mouth, the child can be allowed to eat hard foods that require a lot of chewing, such as crackers, carrots, squash and cucumbers. Most children avoid eating the "hard" of bread but it is important to work with them on it. The mouth muscles can also be strengthened by blowing soap bubbles, inflating balloons, drinking a key, blowing a whistle or a flute and even sucking on a lollipop (under supervision and according to age). Also try putting teeth in your mouth, brushing with a toothbrush and touching different textures on the face.

With children who suffer from numbness in the mouth area it is important to work on regulating between heat and cold (since these children do not feel the differences and can get cold or fever burns without paying attention), between weak and strong and between different textures.

Studying these differences may help the child overcome the numbness and more easily notice the different areas of the body and among other things - the mouth.

And what can be done with the clothes?

There are fabric aprons designed for absorbing saliva, and some are even designed to look like a fashionable item on a child's clothes.

At the same time, always put replacement shirts in the bag in case of wetting, as well as cloth diapers or papers for wiping the mouth area.

The Jama app was established with the aim of addressing mothers of babies from birth to age three, and centralizing for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.

All the content in the app "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to its developmental stages, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.

The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
