Question: My 7-month-old daughter constantly sticks her tongue out. Is this normal behavior for her age? I'm wondering if it could be the tongue-thrust reflex. When should I expect her to stop doing this?

Answer: Totally normal! At 7 months, babies are exploring everything with their mouths. It could be teething, a way to show they're hungry or full, or just them figuring out what their tongue can do.
