Why do babies always stick out their tongues?

Young parents are very curious about their baby's behavior. Among the behaviors of babies, one thing parents are more curious about is that most babies like to stick out their tongues. So why do these babies prefer to stick out their tongues? Here, there are actually reasons. Next, I will introduce them to you parents:

1. It is a habit; then we need to pay attention to help children correct their habits from time to time.

2. If the baby's body temperature is slightly high or the baby has too much saliva, sticking out the tongue will lower the temperature in the mouth and reduce some saliva, making the baby feel comfortable. Then you don’t need to drink more water.

3. The body may have low water content and the mouth may be too dry, making the child uncomfortable and causing the baby to stick out the tongue frequently. Then you need to increase your child's water intake and breastfeeding amount appropriately.

However, it is common that some healthy and happy babies will stick out their tongues with a smile when they are happy, and when children see delicious food, they will also stick out their tongues to lick their lips. These are all normal phenomena. This tongue sticking out will not last long and will soon return to normal. If the baby develops well and is not physically or intellectually backward, then the condition is not pathological and the child will no longer stick out his tongue as he grows older.

If a child often opens his mouth, sticks out his tongue, drools, and has an enlarged tongue, and the symptoms do not improve with age, you should pay attention and ask a pediatrician to give your child a comprehensive health check.

When babies first come into this world, they are full of curiosity about this world. They want to understand it as quickly as possible, so some of their behaviors are to help them better understand the world. So all parents need to do is to stay by their side and ensure their safety. So it is normal for babies to stick out their tongues.
