Tongue sticking out/ licking air but not hungry or tired

So confusing. I always thought this was a hunger cue but now he is just constantly doing it. Does anyone else's baby do this? He does it after eating and I'll offer more because of it but he turned down the nipple/bottle.

Mine is doing that because he’s teething already

Rubbing his tongue on his gums

I was told that after about 2 months, biting/licking hands are no longer an accurate hunger cue. I think the licking air is included in that. It's just a development milestone.

how old? I think that he is too but he's only 11 weeks tomorrow (I guess technically 12 since he is a week late)
