Why do babies stick their tongue out?

Babies sticking their tongue out is a common thing! Why do they do it? When should you be concerned?

  • Usually, babies stick their tongue out as a feeding reflex or to find out how it works.
  • Some little clowns also try to imitate people around them.
  • Take the opportunity to inspect your child's tongue, which is an excellent indicator of his health.
  • If you notice anything unusual, such as white or red spots, it's a sign of a minor infection.
  • If your baby seems to be in pain when they stick their tongue out, see your pediatrician to make sure that they aren't coming down with something.
