Many mothers have found that their babies always like to bite things, and the most common one is biting their fingers. Some even bite their upper lip, causing it to rupture and bleed. Some babies just like to bite toys or the horns. So why do babies like to bite things?
1. Lack of zinc element. I said that babies always like to bite things, which may be due to a lack of zinc in their bodies. I suggest that mothers take their babies to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is a zinc deficiency. If it is already clear that it is zinc deficiency, then it is necessary to eat more foods containing zinc elements and supplement zinc appropriately.
2. Long teeth. Many babies want to bite because they are growing teeth and their gums become itchy when their teeth come out. Babies always bite to relieve itching. Mothers can give their babies a grinding rod, which helps with the growth of their teeth and can also alleviate symptoms of gum itching.
3. Mental tension. Some babies always like to bite back and forth, which may be caused by excessive mental stress. For example, if the family relationship is not harmonious and the parents always argue, it will make the baby's spirit tense and depressed, and there is no timely relief or emotional support, so they can only keep biting things.
If the baby bites frequently, the mother can play more with the baby, talk, or listen to music to shift attention and effectively reduce the frequency of biting.
