Three month old baby's tongue is white

Three-month-old babies usually eat breast milk or formula, so their tongue coating looks whiter than that of adults. If the baby does not feel uncomfortable, it does not matter, because when the baby is young, the organs in their body are not particularly perfect, and the gastrointestinal function is slowly maturing, so it is more likely to have indigestion. So what is the matter with the white tongue coating of a three-month-old baby?

It’s okay, all newborn babies look like that. The baby's gastrointestinal system is growing, and the digestive function is not very good. (Pay attention to whether the baby farts a lot. If he farts a lot and you always hear gurgling sounds in his stomach, it means poor liquefaction.) You must drink plenty of water and master the feeding time. You can't feed when you are hungry. At one month old, you should feed regularly every 3-4 hours and drink more water in between. The amount of water the baby needs to be fed every day is based on weight. 1 kg requires 30 ml of water per day. The reason for hiccups is that the baby's diaphragm is not well developed. It's not a big deal, it will get better naturally when he grows up. My baby also had these symptoms when he was one month old, and he had to hiccup for 4-5 minutes each time. But when I asked the doctor, he said it was okay. Don't let the baby catch a cold, because if he catches a cold, he will always hiccup. Also, you must hold him up and burp him after feeding. This is a must and cannot be forgotten.

There are two reasons why your baby's tongue is white:

1. Don’t worry about the residue left after drinking milk. It will disappear naturally in about four months.

2. Indigestion,

(1) If your baby is formula-fed, make sure he or she drinks plenty of water, because babies may not be able to adapt to many other medicines, and they may not be effective immediately. If it doesn't work, you can try Meiban Qinghuobao. (Our baby has never used it, I always rely on drinking water to adjust, but my friend's baby has used it and said it works well.)

(2) I see that you have tried infant formula. That may be a problem with the milk powder. Your baby may not absorb some of the ingredients in the milk powder well. You can try changing the milk powder.

(3) If you are breastfeeding, you should pay attention to your diet and check if you have eaten any food that can cause internal heat. It is recommended that you record your meals every day so that you can find out the reason why your baby is getting internal heat from your own meals! I wish your baby good health!

If the baby is born in good condition and has no special problems, this situation usually occurs when the baby is young, and people usually say it is caused by getting angry. In this case, I usually use a cotton swab dipped in warm water to clean it. Don't use too much force or wipe for too long each time. Do it gradually, and it will go away soon. For frequent dry retching, it is mainly necessary to find out the cause. It may be that the hand or something else stimulates the throat and triggers the pharyngeal reflex. As long as the child is well-nourished and gains weight normally, there is generally no big problem.
