Do you clean your LO's tongue?

Have started weaning my almost 6 month old boy. He's been eating butternut squash and now his tongue is orange. Do you clean it, and if so, how? (I tried using a wet muslin cloth but didn't work...) thanks in advance

Um, I can safely say that I have never cleaned my children's tongues. In fact I would clean the tops of the wardrobes before I'd think to clean their tongues. It'll wear off :)

Thanks Gwen. You can tell this is my first baby Wink

Er, no Grin

Leave him be, he'll be fine.

When brushing teeth we give the tongue a little brush but I wouldn't have done it at 6 mo. it will be fine.

Little sip of water and their next feed will do the trick :)
