Infant tongue size

Kristen

Hello Glow Baby Mamas,

I’m a 4th time mom and recently took my son to his 2 week check up. The doctor made a comment about his tongue being a bit bigger, then brushed it off and said babies grow into features. I made the mistake of looking online at some reasons for longer tongues and worried myself. Do any of you mamas have babies who seem to stick their tongue out quite a bit at this age? One of the issues mentioned was a genetic disorder called BWS, but we had the newborn screening done and NIPT and received no word of the 11p deletion. I don’t believe it’s that, because there’s no other large abnormalities. Just asking for support. Thank you!
