Baby Z is exclusively breast fed and I noticed that the center of her tongue looks a little blueish.
Any one seen this before? Wondering what this could be!

Hurm.. Never heard of a bluish tongue. I know baby tongues are white early on..
I would call your pediatrician and ask? -
Could it be a mongolian spot?

I think I will call the pediatrician. Her tongue is white with milk, but the center has this blue-ish spot. I googled it and other people have asked about it too, but never got an answer to what it is.

Hi, my son has blueish green speckles on his tongue too, surrounded by a white patch located on the middle to back section of his tongue. He just saw a pediatric dermatologist who diagnosed him with dermal melanocytosis -- a.k.a., Mongolian spots on his tongue. He has Mongolian spots on his bottom too. This "birthmark" still makes me nervous however because it does not look like a birthmark -- it looks like a thick white milk residue on his tongue speckled with blue spots. It does not appear to bother him in anyway. Did you eventually receive a diagnosis for your child? Could you re-post a picture? I just want to make sure the docs are getting this right. Thanks!
