What does thrush look like?for baby 13 weeks?
Thrush is caused by an overabundance of yeast in the mouth. The mouth is a moist and dark place, so yeast thrives there and too much can cause an overgrowth. It looks like white patches on the cheeks, lips, and tongue, which cannot be wiped off. If left untreated, it can become painful. Most doctors recommend Nystatin drops for the baby, and Nystatin cream for a breastfeeding mother with a baby who has thrush. You should wash anything the baby puts in their mouth with vinegar, which kills the thrush.
