What is the reason why the baby always sticks out his tongue

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Babies first recognize the world through their tongues, and then they use their hands or other sensory organs to explore the world. This is a manifestation of the oral stage in infants. In most cases, sticking out the tongue is a normal behavior. Some little ones even enjoy spitting out saliva or using their small tongues to lick towels or other objects. However, it's still best to take the baby to see a healthcare provider to check for any digestive issues.
