is she sick ??

[mavismoobag]

my baby cham is about 7/8 months ols and she is acting a bit odd. She doesnt seem to be usung her tongue to grab at food and if she does she misses, she just seems to be very lazy and hope they are close enough to just reach over and grab them. Is she missing something in her diet to make her soo lazy or is there another reason for this as she used to be a really good 'shot and eat' type of girl..

Problems extending the tongue can be due to an injury or MBD or several other things. We need more information.

Babies can misjudge the distance once in a while, but it should not be a constant thing.
