Some babies will stick out their tongue when they are hungry, which is a normal reaction, but some babies will stick out their tongue to feed without eating and continue to cry. So, what's wrong with a baby crying with their tongue out but not feeding? Let's take a look at this situation together.
Firstly, if a baby cries with their tongue out but does not breastfeed, it may be due to oral problems. At this time, the mother should first observe whether there are ulcers or sores in the baby's mouth. If there are no problems in the mouth, it may be a normal physiological reaction, because babies perceive the world through their tongue and often stick out their tongue to play on their own.
Secondly, it is normal for babies to stick out their tongues, but if they still cry while sticking out their tongues, mothers should pay extra attention. If this situation occurs unconsciously or frequently, it is recommended that mothers take their babies to the hospital for examination. Only when it is confirmed that the reason for the baby crying while not feeding is not caused by physical problems, can mothers feel at ease.
Finally, if a baby cries with their tongue out but does not breastfeed, it may also be due to discomfort with their tongue, which is mainly related to the fact that mothers have not taken good oral care of their children. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers use warm water to clean their children's mouths, including the gums and tongue, every day. However, do not scrub the mouth when the child is full, as this is not good for the baby.
