What colour is the roof of your baby's mouth?

Bit of a random question but I was just wondering as my 9 week old has a white / pink colour at the top of his mouth I'm just worried about thrush as I've already had it twice in my nips so far.

Thanks ladies!

Does it look like milk residue? (sp?) or white & kinda fluffy?

I cant get to my LOs at the min as she has a mouth full of carrot..

Aww bless! I don't think it's milk residue ... It's more a white colour to his gums and fleshy bit if that makes sense. Definitely not fluffy.

Megans is a yellowy colour but she doesnt have thrush, i think thrush is VERY white and usually the toungue as well, as a precaution you could check with the docs or post a pic maybe?

Thrush normally appears on the tongue & cheeks first.
As pp said are you able to post a pic?
