Ive noticed Ava has a constantly white tongue. She is breastfed. Is this normal? she has alot of saliva in her mouth so i thought if it was milk it would go, but it doesnt. it isnt anywhere else on her mouth.

does it wipe off with a bit of muslin cloth? if not, then could be thrush.

Yep with the rest of them thrush, so you will need something for her and your nipples as well. A trip to the dr tomorrow is in order for you.
