Thrush? Get checked.: A common condition in newborn is oral thrush. This is a superficial fungal infection. It tends to cause a white patchy coating on tongue, lips, cheeks. At times it may cause discomfort and infant will tend to eat less. Have it checked by your child's doctor to make sure and to obtain therapy.

Possible thrush: Or it could be just milk coating the tongue and oral cavity . Thrush are fragile. It bleeds easily when you scrape the tongue and it needs prescription Nystatin to take care of it.
