Babies after birth are often stuck out his tongue. With the protruding tip of the language kids can sleep, watch, play, walk... Mom, of course, worried, why and whether it is necessary to somehow hide the language, run to the doctor?
Do not be scared once and read horror stories on the internet forums, watch child. Constantly protruding tongue in infants can indicate disease. However, remember that the patient is a child different from the healthy. And this can be seen with the naked eye. If the kid is hilarious, mobile, nothing does not bother him (and the kids do not know how to hide), do not drive it on all doctors to medical examinations and to attribute psevdodiagnozy.
Gipotirioz
If the baby permanently sticks out his tongue, it can be a symptom of gipotirioza (thyroid disease, when it produces enough hormones). This can happen if the mother did not have enough iodine during pregnancy. Gipotirioza signs, except the protruding tongue, are also slow development of the child, later teeth, the formation of coarse facial features (Thick lips, broad nose, short neck), the tab with the big and swollen, the skin - dry (especially the knees and elbows), complexion - pale yellow.
- Congenital gipotirioz starts is particularly pronounced with 3 months. A child is not just sticks out his tongue, the language of the child is so big that it simply can not fit in your mouth.
- Kids suffering gipotiriozom are very different from normal kids.
- Now almost all hospitals at the birth of the baby, blood is taken from the heels to the analyzes, including on gipotirioz. If tests are normal, and the manifestations of hypothyroidism you do not see, do not attribute the disease out of the blue.
Intracranial hypertension
It's very rare, very dangerous (threatening life and health) condition usually requires hospitalization and emergency care. If you are not ICP vysedite so just turn to the neurologist, because we should not give this diagnosis in vain.
ICP in the post-Forum, as it turned out, easily diagnosed, is almost always an easily treatable disease. And it's almost always an outpatient basis. So, before you agree with this diagnosis on the basis of a protruding tongue of the child and flee to drink tablets (just to do something, because inaction in relation to the child "no"!), I advise you to get acquainted with this subject more closely, for example on FB Lidiya Babich, Catherine Spektorenko, Sergei and Olga Makarov. This advanced modern doctors, the highest category doctor, pediatric evidence-based medicine.

Teething
The kid with the help tab cards currently itchy gums and eases the pain.
The study of space and sensations
The kid is born and does not know about the possibilities of the human body, so he moves his fingers, goes through the legs, spoiled, he likes to explore their capabilities and skills, so he puts out periodically tab
food interest
The child sticks out his tongue because he was hungry, this is the most common cause of the protruding tongue in children breastfed, they just want to permanently to be close to Mom and literally hung on his chest, because breast milk crumbs - not only food, but also comforting, trust in the the world.
