I believe that a baby whose tongue is always white-coated has an overgrowth
of yeast.  I want someone to convince me that this is not the case.

Peds try scraping it off and if any comes off they say that it is milk on
the baby's tongue.  Now, would milk be stuck on a baby's tongue three hours
after feeding?  And why is it that most babies don't have white tongues when
they drink milk every two - three hours too?

I have a mother with severe symptoms that point to yeast infection, but the
doc says that unless there is white patches on oral mucosa then they won't
treat as yeast.  Her baby has had a solid white tongue for two weeks and she
can't stand the pain any longer.

I know that this was discussed earlier and I will try searching, but would
those of you who don't accept my position give me your thoughts please.
