Today I noticed that my 3-month-old has white spots all over the tip of her tongue. I thought it was milk curds but I couldn't brush them away, so I immediately realized it was probably thrush. However, I looked up "thrush" on a baby care website and in my What to Expect the First Year book, and they both say that thrush occurs mostly on the insides of the baby's cheeks, but there are no spots on the insides of my baby's cheeks; only on her tongue. There's also some white residue on the inside of her lower lip. By the way, I had her c-section, so there's not much of a chance that she could have "caught" the yeast by going thru the birth canal (my sources explained that this is most often how babies get thrush). Do you other moms out there have any ideas? Could it still be thrush anyway? And what can I do about it? Thanks!!
