My baby has white layer in tongue. How to remove that

A. A white coating on your baby's tongue can be caused by several factors, including oral thrush or milk residue. Here are some steps you can take to help remove it: 1. Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth or a clean, soft toothbrush to gently wipe your baby’s tongue. Do this after feeding to remove any residue. 2. Water Rinse: If your baby is old enough, encourage small sips of water after feedings to help rinse the mouth. 3. Breastfeeding Hygiene: If breastfeeding, ensure proper hygiene by keeping your nipples clean and dry. 4. Monitor Diet: If your baby is eating solids, avoid overly sugary or processed foods that can promote thrush. 5. Consult a Pediatrician: If the white coating persists, is accompanied by other symptoms (like fussiness, difficulty feeding, or a rash), or if you suspect thrush, consult your pediatrician for proper diagnosis and treatment. Note: Avoid using any harsh cleaners or substances on your baby's mouth. Always prioritize gentle methods.
