Patient's question:
Now my baby is almost four weeks old. It seems that since a few months ago, he has liked to stick out his tongue to play.Test results: No check-up was performed.
At birth, there was a hearing and blood test, both of which were normal.
At one year old, there was a blood test, and the doctor said he had anemia. However, he has been supplemented.
He walks early, and his development is quite normal.
The only thing is that he still cannot talk.
No, I want to know if my baby might have a problem with his intelligence?
Why does he often stick out his tongue?
Doctor's answer:
Babies explore the world with their mouths, which is normal. Observant mothers should provide more toys that are suitable for babies to grab and bite when they notice this behavior, and enjoy their curiosity. When a baby's oral needs are well met, the oral stage usually ends smoothly or even earlier. However, if a mother obstructs the baby's exploration, the baby's oral desire will not be satisfied, which may lead to habits like biting things or sucking fingers even after the age of three.
