White tongue from formula *update*

[poppy160]

Ellas tongue is caked with milk, also on the insides of her mouth has dry milk, like skin is peeling off..is this okay and how would you suggest cleaning it off?

update: It's not dried milk..I think it's oral thrush. I can't get a Docs appointment til tomorrow, possibly weds. Has anyone elses babies had this? Any tips on helping her in the meantime? Thanks

when Hannah was in scbu they used a cotton bud one of the big ones in some water and just swished it around her mouth or u could just give her a drink of water

Cotton bud or water wouldn't shift it

She's only just over a month old, would that be safe?

Oh sorry!!! I'm sure I read your ticker as 1 year! Sorry sorry sorry!

Mhairi had this and I had to get a script from the Docs.

The only other thing I can think of is to go to a chemist and register for the Minor Ailments Scheme, they then might be able to prescribe something!

Sorry again!
