Question
Why do newborns frequently stick out their tongues?
Answer
After two months of age, the salivary glands in infants begin to secrete saliva, and they will use their tongues to lick, leading to the phenomenon of sticking out their tongues. If the infant also has symptoms such as constipation, decreased appetite, and reduced activity, it is recommended to seek a pediatrician’s diagnosis. Additionally, if the infant still has the habit of sticking out their tongue as they grow up, parents should guide them in a timely manner to avoid developing bad habits.
