Why do babies like to bite their lower lips?

We adults all know that a baby bites his or her lower lip because his or her lips are uncomfortable. However, some babies who are still young and ignorant will also bite their lower lip. Is it because they are uncomfortable? Or are babies just learning the actions of adults? Now let's take a look at why babies like to bite their lower lip.

There are several reasons why people bite their lips:

1. The sucking instinct is not satisfied;

2. Seek excitement. Biting your lips puts a certain amount of pressure on your lips, which is quite stimulating;

3. When you are lonely and have nothing to do, you look for someone to rely on. This is a kind of reliance. If your child bites his lips at a young age (under two or three years old), you don't have to worry about it affecting the development of the mandible. However, when the child is five or six years old and the permanent teeth are about to grow, this problem will arise. Of course, the sooner it is corrected, the better.

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.

The above are the reasons why babies bite their lower lips. As long as we know the reasons why babies like to bite their lower lips, we can find ways to prevent them from biting their lower lips. As long as you divert the baby's attention, you can reduce the baby's behavior of biting his lower lip. I hope the babies can grow up quickly.
