It is not uncommon for babies to stick their tongue out from time to time, especially during teething or when they are trying to explore and play with their surroundings. However, a constant protruding tongue in an 11-month-old baby can be a sign of an underlying issue.

Some of the common reasons why an 11-month-old baby may keep their tongue outside are:

1. Mouth breathing due to chronic nasal congestion or other respiratory issues.
2. Tongue-tie or ankyloglossia, a congenital condition in which the membrane under the tongue is too tight, causing the tongue to be held forward.
3. Low muscle tone in the tongue and mouth muscles.
4. Neurological or developmental disorders, such as cerebral palsy.
5. Habitual behavior or learned behavior.

To control this behavior, you can try the following tips:

1. Gently remove the baby's tongue from their mouth when you notice it protruding and distract them with a toy or activity.
2. Engage in exercises that promote mouth muscle growth, such as blowing bubbles or playing with chew toys.
3. Speak to your pediatrician or medical practitioner to identify any underlying issues and get treatment accordingly.

In conclusion, as the tongue protrusion can be due to various reasons, if you notice any other concerning symptoms or unsure about what's causing it, it is always recommended to consult a pediatrician for appropriate diagnosis and solution.
