Answer 1

it's still called that. it's like a yeast infection in the mouth. it can be cleared up with over the counter medicine called gentian violet. this stuff works great. i used it for my daughter.

Answer 2

Wrong. Not all names are given at birth. Some people wait for a while to name their babies. It is not a law requirement that you fill out that section at birth. In fact, it is not even required that there be a birth certificate at birth. It makes more sense to do so, but it is not the law. Also, many people change their names. If you are adopting, especially. My cousin is adopting twin girls from Russia. Their names right now are something like Olga and Helga. It's awful. By the time they arrive in the USA, they will be about 2 years old (hopefully, they will come very soon!) and their names will change at that time. So, she has been pouring over good names for months, even though her children are not babies anymore. As for adult names, I think William is a very adult name... That's why they get called Billy when they're little. Or Arthur. Or Sven. Okay, now I'm jerking your chain! I agree that it seems superfluous to call it "baby names" since it seems so obvious, but in my experience, moms-to-be can't resist using the word "baby" at any given time.... which must be why the taboo word game (where you can't say baby, mommy, due date, etc) is so popular at baby showers.... :-P

Answer 3

Do you mean thrush?

Thrush (oropharyngeal candidiasis, or OPC) is a yeast infection that develops in the mouth and throat and on the tongue.

Thrush is most common in newborns, infants, and older adults, but it can occur at any age. In healthy newborns and infants, thrush is usually not a serious problem and is easily treated and cured.

Answer 4

I think you meant thrush. Oral thrush is a condition in which the fungus Candida albicans grows out of control. Like most healthy people, you probably have small amounts of the fungus in your mouth and digestive tract and on your skin. You can't see the fungus and normally won't know it's there — it usually doesn't cause problems because normal bacteria (flora) in your body keep its growth in check. But when this balance is disturbed — by medications or illness — Candida can grow out of control, leading to problems such as diaper rash and vaginal yeast infections as well as oral thrush.

Oral thrush causes creamy white lesions, usually on your tongue or inner cheeks. The lesions can be painful and may bleed slightly when you scrape them or brush your teeth. Sometimes oral thrush may spread to the roof of your mouth, your gums, tonsils or the back of your throat.

Although oral thrush can affect anyone, it occurs most often in babies and toddlers, older adults, and people whose immune systems have been compromised by illness or medications. Oral thrush is a minor problem for healthy children and adults, but for those with weakened immune systems, symptoms of oral thrush may be more severe, widespread and difficult to control.
