Why does my daughter have raised taste buds?

Question

When my 8 month old daughter woke up, I was playing with her and realized she had raised taste buds and they were kinda white.. might it be from when I fed her earlier in the night? I brushed her teeth and her tongue this morning after I realized she had this and the white went away.. at least I think it did.. she won't really let me look.. is this normal?

btw, i looked on the side of her cheeks and what not, doesn't seem that she has thrush. any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

thrush dosen't always happen on the sides, if the raised buds are red, then it probably is thrush. are you discharging anymore than normal? any thickness in your milk? that would also tell you if its thrush. when you put your finger in her mouth dose the white stuff easily come off? if not then its thrush. thrush is a yeast infection that passes back and forth from mom and baby, if so you both will have to be on antibiotics. i never had thrush but my best friend and her daughter had it 2 times.
