A. Chewing motion with tongue poking out Numerous times within a day you will notice your baby's mouth moving in a chewing motion, almost as though they are chewing gum with no manners. At the same time their tongue may pop out. This Wind-Cue, until now, has been labelled as a baby looking to suck for hunger.
