Why would you clean their tongue? No.

I just do it with a wet muslin cloth, a couple swipes, nothing too crazy x

@Jess this is why I’m asking. Because I keep seeing things online and had an older lady ask me if I have cleaned her tongue. but never heard of it personally so needed other mums advice

No you don’t need too clean their tongue xx

We asked the midwife and they said not to x

No Iv never heard of it either. How bizarre. I wouldn’t even think of clean her tongue. Lessons learnt.

I asked the HV yesterday as I saw this too and she said no need. That they do it in the states apparently but they don't advise it here

No i never have x
