My 2 mth old daughter's
tongue is always almost coated white. I used to think it is due to milk. Am I right? |
| Dr C.H.
Asrani |
Ya! Nalini, it could be milk
but if it cannot be scraped off, it could be Thrush! Read about Thrush

Can I give her water some
time after feeds to prevent this? |
| Dr C.H.
Asrani |
Nalini, water won't prevent
this. Wipe her tongue with a thin cloth on your finger with honey on it. |
