Question

Newborn Pediatrics: My child is two months old and has been biting their tongue. What could be the reason?

Answer

Hello, the primary reason for a child biting their tongue is most likely due to a deficiency in certain nutrients. It is suggested to consult with a pediatrician regarding nutrition, especially checking for any deficiencies in trace elements that may affect the child’s sleep quality. Generally, babies may experience these situations, so it is recommended to clean the baby’s mouth area with warm water and pay attention to hygiene. It is suggested to observe more closely, pay attention to regional hygiene, and change the baby’s clothes regularly.
