What should I do if my baby always bites his lower lip?

Watching the baby grow up healthily must make parents very happy. However, some of the children's problems also make parents worry, fearing that they will develop bad habits from an early age, such as biting the lower lip. Because the children are young and lack autonomy, parents are very worried. So, what should you do if your baby always bites his lower lip? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. The "intensity" of the things that distract his attention should be increased, that is, they should be very novel and he should like them very much, and the fun he gets from playing with them should be much greater than that from biting his lips.

2. Don't always pay attention to his behavior, don't be too nervous, and don't nag him. If you keep staring at his behavior, it may make him more insistent on this behavior in order to get your attention (children are very concerned about their parents' attention).

3. Let him hug a stuffed toy before going to bed, or tell him a story he likes. If he stops biting his lips, say "good" to him and kiss him as a reward.

4. Take him to the dentist and tell the doctor in advance that the doctor is here to correct his bad behavior of biting his lips. Ask him to cooperate and tell the child that biting his lips will cause his teeth to grow crooked in the future and he will not be able to chew food, so don't bite. Generally speaking, children are more afraid of doctors, and they will listen to what the doctor says, which is more powerful than what their parents say.

5. You can ignore the issue of lip biting for a month (of course you still have to pay attention to it secretly), relax, give him a richer life, and delay his sleep time (so that he will be more tired when sleeping). Maybe he will give up automatically and stop biting his lips.

6. Going on a short trip or staying with relatives or friends will completely change your lifestyle. Where you live, where you play, and even the bed you sleep in will be different. You will most likely change it when you come back.

The above is an introduction to what to do if your baby always bites his lower lip. I hope it will be helpful to parents. If your child has the habit of biting his lower lip, you can take these measures to improve it, and the results are generally quite good. In addition, some children bite their lips because they suffer from certain diseases. It is best to take the child to a regular hospital for examination to prevent more serious consequences.
