Are you sure its not thrush? Because when DD got it, she only had the white spots in tiny patches that resembeled the canker sores I get all the time.
newborn with sores inside mouth?
Hi -- DH and I noticed yesterday that our 10-day-old has some little things that look sort of like tiny canker sores inside his bottom lip and inside his cheeks right by the sides of his mouth. I can't find any info about this in any of my books, but I'm thinking they're little friction spots from nursing that will turn into sort of "mouth callouses" -- DH works in a hospital and says it's not thrush.
Anyone have experience with this? Should we be worried?
