Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Sucking on bottom lip?

Why is DD doing this?  I'm going to guess it's a self-soothing thing, but I'm not positive.  She usually takes a pacifier, but at times she doesn't have it or it falls out she does this sometimes.  Anyone else have a LO who does this?  Should I worry about it?  

 

TIA

  • Yes! No clue why. My guess is teething?

  • Yep! My DD does this now when she doesn't have her paci too! My guess is teething/self-soothing. I am not too worried, pretty sure its normal :)

  • DD started this for the first time at 3 months in the middle of a photo shoot.  She still does it every once in a while

  • My son has done this since day one! He hates pacifiers, just chews on them. He also favors his fist to suck on.

    This for us too. Except not from day one...she started this maybe 3 weeks ago and it has kind of drifted off.
