Hi, my LO is 15 weeks today, since about 11 weeks he's been drooling loads (soaking his top).  Now he's started using his hand he always stuffs them in his mouth (quite harshly) and anything else he can get his hands on.  What does this mean?

Sometimes it can mean teething has started, but this young, it's generally because his saliva glands have kicked into high gear to prepare for all the things he'll be putting in his mouth. There are theories that all the excess saliva helps wash away germs from what he sticks into his mouth.
