Patient's question:
The baby can already talk now, and can say simple words, but recently he has been sticking his tongue out and then laughing when he talks. I'm very worried that he might get used to this habit, and if it continues when he grows up, it would be very bad.What kind of help do I need: Is it normal for babies to always stick their tongues out?
Doctor's answer:
Your baby is in the teething stage, and the parotid glands have also begun to grow rapidly during this period. The tongue is lifted out of fun, wanting to explore things it can reach. Tongue protrusion is a common phenomenon in infants, but you should pay attention to how the tongue returns to the center after being lifted. If it consistently deviates to one side, it is advisable to seek follow-up care promptly. The above suggestions are for the question "Is it normal for babies to always stick their tongues out?" and hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
