This morning after I fed Janie, I put her down in the bassinet while I cleaned up. When I can back, she stuck her tongue out at me! It’s different from what she does when she’s hungry. Her tongue was coming out of her mouth farther than usual and in different positions (to the left or to the right).
She was also doing it repeatedly. Yaay! She has voluntary tongue protrusion! As an OT, this makes me so excited. She’s one step closer to eating solids!
Here’s a video of the tongue action:

but can she twirl her tongue yet?
You mean turn it sideways? Yep! I’ve seen it just not on purpose.
