Question
Why do babies often stick out their tongues to lick clothes?
Answer
Sticking out the tongue is typically a normal behavior in babies, usually starting around two months old. This is due to the increased secretion of saliva glands, causing the baby to start licking and sticking out their tongue. If the baby also exhibits symptoms such as constipation, decreased appetite, or reduced activity, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician. Additionally, if this behavior persists as the baby grows older, proper guidance should be provided to prevent the formation of a habit.
