    Default rooting mouth

    Dear teachers,

    I'm looking for the meaning of rooting mouth in this context:

    Georgia wrapped the baby and had me hold it. It had a tiny, squished nose and a rooting mouth.
    Thanks a lot for your kindly help

    "Rooting" in this context means the baby is moving its mouth around searching for nourishment.
