I would take a clean washcloth of hers and dip it in boiled bottled water (crazy I know) and wrap that around my finger and clean her tongue.

I should also mention that if after you do this, your DCs tongue is still white I would take him to ped in case its thrush (probably isn't but just for future reference).

Id agree with that. Abby had thrush and if I didn't know to look for it, Id have thought it was milk.

Re: cleaning ur babys tongue....

My daughter has had a white tongue too since 2 weeks old. We had it checked and it is not thrush. Ped said that if it wipes off it is not thrush and also usually thrush is usually on the inner cheeks as well. Anyway.....I try and wipe it off with a wet washcloth around my finger.

There has to be something better....

Wow.. I can honestly say I have never once cleaned my kids tongue..

LOL.

Maybe she wiped it off herself with all the constant screaming and puking she did as a newborn. LOL.
