white patch on baby's tongue?

hi, my dd 8month old has had a few colds and tummy bugs recently and went off her food. for the past few weeks i've noticed a persistent white furry patch in the centre of her tongue. its not milk, as its still there hours after any milk and drinks of water and food. i can only think its something to do with her digestion... has anyone else had this or have any idea what it could be?
thanks..

I'd go with thrush too. Hope she's ok

i agree with burstingbug!

Sounds like thrush to me too. You can get some Daktarin (I think its called) over the counter at the pharmacy which is a gel you put on. Or you can see your GP for a prescription of a solution to put on. Either of them will confirm what it is.

He was born at 11.32am. We're in the South, in Essex but DH is from Manchester. We're going up this weekend! Is it too soon for an introduction do you think?!
