POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. At 3 months old, frequent tongue movement, like sucking a toffee, is usually normal behavior and not necessarily a sign of teething. Babies explore their mouths as part of their development, and this behavior can indicate:
Oral Exploration: Babies discover their tongue and learn to control it, which is part of normal growth. Hunger or Sucking Reflex: It might be a sign that your baby is hungry or enjoys sucking for comfort. Early Teething: Though teething typically starts around 4-6 months, some babies show early signs like drooling, chewing on fingers, or mild irritability. Gas or Discomfort: If your baby is fussy, it could be related to digestion or mild discomfort.
If there are other symptoms like excessive drooling, swollen gums, or irritability, teething might be starting. Otherwise, it's a normal phase of development. Keep an eye on any changes and ensure your baby is feeding well.
