When you see your baby sticking out his tongue over and over again, you wonder if this is normal behavior. The short answer is yes; Sticking out their tongue is a very common behavior in newborn babies. However, a grown-up child sticks out his tongue for a variety of reasons. They may stick out their tongue in a playful manner or to tease others.
However, as a parent, you should know the reasons why your child is repeatedly sticking out his tongue.
We have listed some of the reasons why a child sticks his tongue out frequently.
The child is hungry or fidgety:
If a baby opens his mouth and sticks out his tongue or licks his lips with his tongue, it could mean that the baby is hungry. Apart from this, young children also stick out their tongues while playing games or teasing other children.
The child is breathing through the mouth:
It has also been observed that children who have a habit of breathing through the mouth instead of the nose, often stick out their tongue.
When young are unable to breathe through their nose or have trouble breathing through their nose, they begin to breathe through their mouths, and as a result, develop the habit of sticking out their tongues. Apart from this, the problem of tonsils can also be a reason for children’s tongue sticking out.
Baby teeth can erupt:
When a baby’s teeth erupt, he often takes out his tongue. This is because when a child’s teeth grow, they feel a rash in their mouth and have a slight itch. They want something to chew on to relieve itching. In such a situation, the child tries to chew by sticking out his tongue.
