Patient's question:
Patient's age and main onset time: Laboratory test results: Previous treatment and effectiveness: Hello doctor, my baby is just 10 days old and keeps spitting out and sticking out his tongue, why?Doctor's answer:
If there are no other issues such as refusing to nurse, excessive fussiness, or drooling, then this is a normal phenomenon. After a baby is born, their nervous system begins to grow and develop rapidly. The order of neural development in infants starts from the center and moves outward, so the nerves around the mouth develop earlier than those in the hands. For babies aged 1 to 5 months, the mouth is a tool for exploring the world, as they use it to explore and experience their surroundings. Therefore, they may stick out their tongues and lick anything they encounter—it’s part of their practice! From a psychological perspective, the period from birth to 1 year is the initial stage of psychological sexual expansion, known as the "oral stage."
