What is the meaning of sucking?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are also spitting up milk. What is the meaning of sucking?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the sucking reflex is one of the innate reflexes of mammals and human infants, and it is a type of unconditional reflex in newborns. When the nipple or finger touches the lips of a newborn, corresponding sucking movements of the lips and tongue will occur.
If the child is troubled by newborn diseases, parents must take the child to seek immediate medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment for the illness.
