In Freudian psychoanalysis, the term oral stage or hemitaxia denotes the first psychosexual development stage wherein the mouth of the infant is their primary erogenous zone.

oral stage
The oral stage is the first stage in Freud's psychosexual development theory, which occurs from birth to around one year old. During this stage, an infant's primary source of interaction and pleasure comes through the mouth in activities such as feeding, thumb sucking, and teething. The experiences during this stage are believed to have a significant impact on one's personality development, with conflicts or issues potentially resulting in oral fixation in later life.

Oral stage
In Freudian psychoanalysis, the term oral stage denotes the first psychosexual development stage where in the mouth of the infant is his or her primary erogenous zone. Spanning the life period from birth to the age of 21 months, the oral stage is the first of the five Freudian psychosexual development stages: the Oral, the Anal, the Phallic, the Latent, and the Genital. Moreover, because it is the infant’s first human relationship — biological and psychological — its duration depends upon the child-rearing mores of the mother’s society. Sociologically, the duration of infantile nursing is determined normatively, because the oral stage is especially important in societies that consider the stomach to be the seat of the emotions, as among some African and south-west Pacific Ocean societies that perceive the oral stage as medicinal.
