Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic and congratulations. Regarding your baby's white patch on tongue, have you been applying the same cream to your nipples after feed and are you feeling any itching ? If so you also have to apply the same lotion. Regarding the blackish spot on the side of the tongue it's better you show to a doctor before coming to any conclusions.Hope this has been helpful to you, kindly feel free to contact again for any further queries. Kindly rate the answer if so. Take care.
