water

Can I give my baby some water? It looks like he has like old milk in his mouth. He is 6 days old.

You can wipe out his mouth but I wouldn't wash it out. Are you positive it isn't thrush?

i have my baby girl suck on the burp rag with my finger in her mouth and it works great!

What is thrush?! @rockinmomma

rockinmomma

Its an overgrowth of yeast and will look like white patches inside of the mouth. If its milk it will wipe of easily if its thrush it will be red and raw underneath and wont wipe off as easily.
