It also happened once before, every time it spits for two days, it will have a high fever. I want to ask what part is actually problematic?
Doctor's answer:
This is a normal phenomenon. Around two months, babies begin the process of exploring their world, and various functions of their nervous system start to develop. The order of neural development in babies is from the center outward. Therefore, the nerves around the mouth develop earlier than those in the hands. In babies aged 2 to 5 months, the mouth is a tool for exploring the world, as they use it to discover and experience their surroundings. So, they may stick out their tongues to play or lick things, which is part of their practice!
