Thrush?

sstrom22

So now I'm all paranoid that my LO has thrush... her tongue is white but she doesn't have the blisters and other things on her cheeks that people describe.  Is this normal or is this thrush?  

We were just at the doctor last Thursday and they didn't notice/say anything....

Am I just being a typical FTM and overly concerned?

Is LO BF or FF? We do both and her tongue is white due to formula residue on her tongue. The nurse at her weight check was concerned she had thrush and had doc come in to look. He said no, just residue.

Try wiping it off. If it doesn't come off then call pedi to double Check, but they can have white tongues from their bm of formula.

I'm only BFing...  will try wiping it off and seeing.  I did send a message to my Dr. too..

Thanks ladies!

Yes, my little one has had it for awhile, we are on meds. If it won't wipe off then call the doc,if it comes off then it is formula.
