Hydration: Continue to breast feed and monitor the number of wet diapers. Your 6 month old baby may have sips of cool water to soothe the mouth. The sores may be related to a viral infection, impetigo or thrush. Please have an appointment with your physician to determine the next steps. Small amounts of liquid frequently may help to avoid dehydration.
