Patient's question:
The girl is 2 years old this year, and her spirits have not been very good recently. Then she found out that she was sick. Please ask: What is the reason for the white tongue of the baby?Doctor's answer:
1. It may be caused by breastfeeding. If the mother consumes something that causes stomach upset during breastfeeding, it can easily affect the breastfed baby. Therefore, mothers who breastfeed should pay attention to how their diet includes foods that cause stomach upset. If the white tongue is due to the baby's stomach upset, there is no need to worry excessively. Proper care and adjustment can resolve it. Additionally, babies have difficulty digesting greasy and high-protein foods, so it's important to limit their intake of such foods. Spicy or overly salty dishes should also be avoided.2. It may be caused by formula feeding. Since the baby's digestive system is still developing, they may have difficulty absorbing certain components of the formula.
