A. Soak a soft cotton cloth in warm water and wrap Irvin your finger and try inserting in her mouth and just wipe it softly. Though it is not necessary to clean the tongue every day but at least thrice or twice in a week is recommended . It is difficult to clean their tongue when they don't want to open their mouths but as a parent you have to be patient and keep trying. Once the baby grows old you can try cleaning with a finger brush.
