What is the reason for a three-month-old baby sticking out their tongue?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Babies sticking out their tongues is generally a normal phenomenon. Around two months of age, babies' salivary glands begin to secrete saliva. At this time, if the baby licks with their tongue, they may stick out their tongue. If the baby also has constipation, poor appetite, or low activity levels, they should visit a pediatrician. Additionally, if the baby continues to do this as they grow older, proper guidance should be provided to prevent it from becoming a habit.
