Reasons for baby's lip wrapping

In life, many babies have the habit of covering their lips. Some babies cover their lips even when they are sleeping. This is the baby's instinct and a habit of all babies. Some babies have passed the breastfeeding period but still cover their lips as when they are breastfeeding. So is this habit normal? Let’s take a look at it together below.

This is a behavior that babies use to comfort, soothe or control themselves. Children can start to get pleasure from sucking from birth. The initial exploration of the environment starts from the mouth, and biting the lower lip is an extension of the sucking action. Is there any certain pattern when children bite their lower lips? Maybe it is because breastfeeding cannot satisfy her sucking needs, or maybe she is feeling some emotion when biting her lower lip. Parents should pay attention when she has such behavior and solve different problems in a targeted manner.

Generally, you don't need to stop a child deliberately. You can give her some food or use toys to attract her and divert her attention. If parents find that their daughter is in a negative mood when biting her lower lip, they should pay attention to her emotions and address her specific feelings.

A child's sucking action is an instinct that accompanies the child from birth until weaning.

But some children can continue sucking for a long time. For example, wrapping the lips is also a continuation of the sucking action. Children like to wrap their lips, which causes their lower lips to become very soft and feel like a lump of mud when touched. The seemingly simple lip-wrapping action is actually accompanied by the child's psychological reaction.

It happens right before bedtime and when there is nothing worthy of her attention. Parents can divert their children's attention. For example, before going to bed, parents can tell their children stories so that they can immerse themselves in the story and stop wrapping their lips. When correcting the habit of lip-binding, do not scold or constantly remind the child, otherwise the child will get psychological hints and bind his lips more frequently.

You can apply a little vinegar on the child's lower lip. The child will feel the sour taste and will temporarily stop wrapping his lips. Don’t give your child pacifiers or bottles anymore. After your child’s teeth have grown, excessive sucking on the pacifier will cause the gums to deform.

What is described in the above article is a detailed introduction to baby lip binding. Excessive lip binding for babies is incorrect. Parents should remind their babies not to bind their lips. They should also divert their children’s attention. It will be fine after a period of time. Parents’ words and deeds are very important. They should teach their babies the correct way of life from an early age. Parents are also the first teachers in their children’s lives, so parental teaching is very important.
