Hello,
Welcome to health care magic
Excessive salivation in 2weeks old baby could be due to inability to swallow.So get her checked for cleft palate.Sometimes due to trachaeoesophageal fistulo whatever swallowed milk can't go into stomach and hence comes out.Saliva to keep on coming. You get this checked as well from your doctor.Hope I gave you some insight in your problem
Regards
