We know that picking the nose is a very indecent action, which not only affects a person's image, but also often leads to injuries and even infections inside the nostrils. In daily life, many babies have the bad habit of picking their noses, so why do babies always pick their noses?
If a baby picks their nose, it may be due to itching or discomfort inside the nostrils. Many children, after catching a cold, may experience nasal congestion due to the secretion of nasal fluid. When children feel uncomfortable inside their nasal cavity or affect their breathing, they will habitually pick their nose with their hands.
In this case, the mother should promptly take the baby to the ENT department of the hospital for relevant examinations to see if they have allergic rhinitis, eczema, or underdeveloped nasal cavity. If it is ruled out that picking the nose is caused by illness, then the baby is likely to imitate others' movements and pick the nose.
Parents should change their bad habit of picking their nose, lead by example, and educate their babies that this is a bad habit. Through a period of intervention, babies will gradually correct their habit of picking their nose. Another important reason for babies to pick their nose is to relieve stress.
When some babies encounter confusion or feel irritable, they will use some actions to eliminate their inner anxiety, such as picking their nose, biting their nails, biting their fingers, etc. In this situation, parents should not make harsh criticism or ridicule them, but should guide them correctly and show concern for their emotions to help them eliminate bad behavior.
