Baby's oral hygiene is also very important. If parents do not do a good job in baby's oral hygiene, it may lead to bacterial infections and other situations. However, some parents do not know how old their babies need to wash their tongues, nor do they know the correct method for washing their tongues. Therefore, today we will learn about the time and method of cleaning their tongues. We hope that mothers can clean their babies' tongues at the appropriate time after reading this.
How old does a baby need to wash their tongue
In fact, there is no age limit for cleaning a baby's tongue. As long as mothers notice white residue on their child's tongue, they need to choose a suitable method to clean their baby's tongue in order to eliminate these residues in a timely manner and avoid bacterial infections caused by prolonged residue.
Methods for cleaning a baby's tongue
The white residue on a child's tongue is usually the residue after breastfeeding, which accumulates to form a white color. At this time, the mother can ask the child to drink some water after breastfeeding, which can help clean the tongue.
Of course, in addition to this method, mothers can also wrap their fingers in gauze and dip them in some hot water to wipe their child's tongue, thereby helping to remove milk residue. However, when choosing this method to clean the tongue, two things should be noted:
1. Before cleaning, it is important to wash both hands thoroughly to avoid bacterial infections.
2. When cleaning a child's mouth, it is important to control the intensity and try to be as gentle as possible.
