Hi,
From history it seems that baby might be having oral thrush giving this problem.
Due to not cleaning tongue or mouth after feed might giverise thrush.
Give her some B.complex drops.
Take care that after every feed clean the tongue with clean handkerchief keeping on your finger top and clean the tongue and mouth.
Apply Gention violet liquid in the mouth and tongue after consulting your doctor.
