Answer
When it comes to your baby’s tongue-wagging, first, carefully inspect their mouth for any canker sores, ulcers, or blisters. If there are none, it might be a normal physiological response. Babies use their tongues to explore the world, followed by their hands or other sensory organs. If your baby frequently sticks out their tongue for play, it’s an expression of the infant’s “oral desire period.” Some compounds in hair dye can reach the body in very small amounts through the skin, but they have no significant effect on breastfeeding. It’s important to note that irritants like alkaline nitro compounds and hydrogen peroxide can easily cause rashes and respiratory diseases. If you’ve just finished dyeing your hair, you can wear a hat while feeding your child to prevent the smell from affecting them.
