I'm interested to gather opinions:
 
I saw a baby on day two.  Seems to have posterior tongue-tie, but  that is 
not what I am asking about, though I suspect it's related.
 
There is a very distinguishable line down the middle of the tongue, which  
I'm attributing to TT.  When I saw this baby, his tongue's left side, from  the 
line to the edge and all the way front to back was a yellowish-creme color,  
while the right side was normal pink.  By the time the next HCP saw the  baby, 
the whole tongue was pink again.
 
Have any of you seen such a thing...or do you have a guess as to what  would 
change color on half of tongue?  BTW, it did NOT look  blanched....just 
strange.  Baby was just up from a nap.  Palate is a  little flat, but otherwise ok.
 
Thanks for your input!
