Answer 6

Is it spots or a white discharge? The discharge could be Thrush which is quite common, just speak to you GP or Health visitor. My Daughter was born with 3 white spots on her tongue and after tests they have decided it is nothing to worry about, like a birthmark. Its always best to get babies checked out to be on the safe side

It's probably Thrush.  Nothing to worry about, and very common.  See your doctor, who can give you something to sort it out easily

Answer 9

ur baby is ill

Answer 10

It happens to most of the babies. The white patch is actually milk that your baby drank and that has collected for a period of time. To get rid of the white patch, wet a small handkerchief and put one of your fingers to hold the handkerchief. Then slowly reach into your baby's tongue and rub off gently. It won't come off in a day but it will if you do that continuously for some time. Remember that baby's tongue is very fragile and you will have to do it real gentle.

Hope that helps(:

Answer 11

Its probably a build up of milk... when my son was younger that would happen to him and it would be a thick build up. My doc said if it bothered me I could gently wipe it w/ a wet towel... but its hard to get off. If your baby is in pain, however, when eating... it could be thrush.

Good luck and congrats on the baby!  

Answer 12

It could just be milk caught on her tongue or it could be thrush. Try making up bicarbonate of soda and water, and use a cotton bud to just wipe it across the white. If it is milk, it will come off. If not, then you should ask your midwife, health visitor or doctor.

Answer 13

Could be Thrush. My son had it many times and it gave me a yeast infection in both b*****s. Call your doctor for medicine. Make sure you sterilize everything after each feeding. Wash your breast, iron your bras and wipe her tounge after feedings as much as possible.  

Answer 14

No your baby is not neccerarily ill...

Sounds like thrush or yeast infection.  Its very common with infants. My baby got it as a newborn. Your doctor will give you a oral anti -biotic.
