Yea my little girl has almost a completely white tongue and the doc said it isn't trush since it wipes off. Everyone keeps asking me if it is, but it's just milk

Her whole tongue is almost always white though!

hi my 4 week old baby has thrush and was perscribed an antibotic last week the antibiotic is finished but the thrush is still there it has gotten better but it is still lingering, so i rang my medical centre and spoke to a diff dr, she said not to worry about it and ignore it as long as its not botherin baby there was no need for a new antibotic

yep, definitely love this, tried to wipe it off and all, but it's easier said than done on a 2 week old. Although he did love to suck the water off the cloth lol
as some did come off though- I do think it's milk, but better safe than sorry

My lo had it at 4 weeks. She was in no pain with it and it didn't affect her feeding.
As she was so young they were hesitant to give her medicine and they rather let it clear naturally.
It had completely cleared within 2 weeks, never had any pain, and it's not come back since
