Tongue Thrush

Why is my newborn's tongue?

orange? Thrush causes white patches, from what I've read, and she's only 3 and a half weeks, and breastfed... What could this be? (I'm calling her doc, tomorrow morning, but, in the meantime...)

  1. you know im not really sure but i think it shouldnt be anything to be real concerned about but also call your doctor to see what it could be. i do think it is normal though
  2. You're right about the thrush, so that's definitely not it. It may be an oral fungal infection, or a reaction to something in the breastmilk. Have you been taking any medication with an orange tint to it?
