Seek care: Babies can have a white appearance in their mouth for several reasons, particularly, from the formula or breast milk, or they can have a yeast infection. In order to determine the cause and get the appropriate treatment, you should seek care from your physician.

Thrush: It sounds like your baby may have a condition called thrush. It is a yeast infection in the mouth, commonly occurring up to age 6 months. When on the tongue, it can resemble milk, but thrush also appears on the inside of the cheeks, lips, and gums. There are some prescription anti-fungal medications which can treat it. Please check with your baby's doctor.
