What Does Orange Tongue In A Baby Indicate?
My three month old, exclusively breastfeed, son had an orange tongue two days ago. I freaked out and got a baby wipe and wiped his tongue and it came off. It has not returned, but now I also wipe out his mouth once a day. What caused this and should I take him to the doctor about this before his next scheduled visit in a month?

HI...do you remember giving him any multivitamin drops which might be orange in colour...other possibility is that there could be an orange coloured clothing over or near to him, which he might have reflexively put in the mouth.
Even these two possibilities are not there, do not worry, if he is completely normal and his usual self and feeding well.
