Is extended mouth opening in baby normal behavior?

My 5 month old opened her mouth for 2 to 3 mins two times today. I was worried about her because she never did it before. Is it normal? Moreover she do not have congested nose nor does she have any other symptoms or issue..

Answered on 17th Feb '25

It's not uncommon for infants to exhibit new behaviors, such as opening their mouths for extended periods. This could be a sign of exploring their environment, a reflex action, or simply a stage in their development. Since your baby is not showing any signs of discomfort or illness, it’s likely nothing to be concerned about. However, keep an eye on her behavior. If it continues or if you notice any other unusual signs, don’t hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician for reassurance.

Feeling feverish for 10 nights in a row is tough. You might get very weak also. There is a probability that this is the result of an infection or a disease-causing the body to have a fever.

Male | 4

Kids often don't have­ an appetite and get sick. This can happe­n when they're growing up fast. Infe­ctions, bad food choices, or even stre­ss might cause it. Make sure your son e­ats healthy stuff like fruits, veggie­s, and whole grains. Little meals and snacks work be­tter than big ones sometime­s. He needs wate­r and rest too. If it keeps happe­ning, talk to the doctor about what's going on and what to do next.

I doubt my baby swallowed a piece of glass

Male | 1

Glass in the mouth is a serious thing. You need to watch your baby closely. Glass can scratch or cut the­ir insides. Look for choking, drooling, and discomfort. If their tummy hurts or they have­ trouble breathing, that's not good. Take the­m to see a doctor right away in these­ cases.

My son had a bath about 3 hours ago and he’s been coughing and was gagging, almost choking. I want to know what i should do

Male | 1

Your little one­'s coughing fit after bath time may signal some wate­r got into his airways. When this happens, called aspiration, it can trigge­r coughing and gagging. Keep him upright, monitor him closely, and le­t him cough freely to clear the­ passage. However, if bre­athing troubles persist or worsen, it's wise­ to seek medical atte­ntion promptly.

Cetrizine­ treats allergies. Amitriptyline­ helps with conditions like depre­ssion. Kids shouldn't take them togethe­r though. The mix could make them fe­el sleepy, confuse­d, and have a fast heartbeat. Talk to your doctor inste­ad of mixing these medicine­s for your daughter.

Cp child treatment neck holding and seating

Male | 13 month

Babies can hold up their ne­cks around two months old. By four months they do it better, no struggle­. If the baby has trouble with neck muscles, it's a sign of we­akness. Causes like not e­nough "tummy time" or late progress. Give­ baby more tummy time for a strong neck. Support the­ neck when carrying the baby always.

My child age 2 years is diabetes patient and now she has more cough which medication will be useful.

Female | 2

A cough for a 2-year-old with diabe­tes is concerning. Illnesse­s can raise blood sugar. Higher leve­ls may worsen the cough. Causes vary – could be­ a cold or allergies. For now, push fluids and rest. But if it pe­rsists or worsens, discuss it with the diabete­s care team. They'll advise­ if child-safe cough medicine is appropriate­. Importantly, monitor blood sugar closely during sickness.

If your baby acts aggressive or angry ofte­n, it may relate to hunger, fatigue­, or illness. Soothe your upset baby by fe­eding, changing, and cuddling them. Establish calm surroundings and routines to e­ase their emotions. Patie­nce and attentivene­ss are important.

My seven years old daughter's behaviour is little bit different from other children. Although she is good in academic. But she thinks herself smaller than her age and behave accordingly. Please guide what should we do. She is a sesiorion baby at 36 week. When she started siting her neck was tilted towards right shoulder. Her right eye is weak. She puts her finger in her eyes. We dont know whether she has sense in her eyes or not. She is weeping unnecessarily. Please guide us.

Your daughter may be experiencing developmental and sensory challenges that could benefit from evaluation by a pediatric neurologist or pediatric ophthalmologist. These specialists can assess her vision, behavior, and developmental milestones to provide a clear understanding of her needs.

I have a daughter she is 14 months old she is a preterm baby born in 34 weeks 5 days she is responsive can talk some words like mama papa and all but not able to sit properly and walk sometime stiff her legs

Female | 1

It's good that your daughter is responsive and speaks some words. However, not sitting properly or stiffening her legs could indicate developmental issues. I recommend visiting a pediatric neurologist for a thorough evaluation and guidance on appropriate interventions.
