10 day old ... blisters in mouth??

[tsk_mum]

I just noticed a couple hrs ago that my new little one has 3 that I could see ... blisters or white bumps in her mouth. 1 in the roof of her mouth, 2 on the inside of her lips
Could it be from nursing?? we have had some learning difficulties or something WORSE like hand foot mouth????
I dont think she has a fever from feeling her ... sleeping alot (what newborn doesn't though) and nursing fine
I did have antibiotics for GBS so even thrush maybe but I dont think it looks like this?
I have a 3 yr old that of course has stuck her germy hands in her mouth before I caught her a few times!

I cant stand the thought that she might be sick so young

I would bring her into the doctor. It could be thrush but it could be something else!

It's possibly just breastfeeding blisters though if you are worried i'd get it checked out. All my lo's have had blisters one on there top lip and a small one in the roof of there mouths my mw said it's from sucking so much and sometime babies are born with them from sucking there fingers or thumbs while in the womb.
Thrush makes white patches in the mouth that looks like milk but won't wipe off, is this what it looks like?

My son had those on the roof of his mouth when he was born. Normal, my doc said.
