Sounds like oral thrush to me.

i was thinking that but not to sure thanks
should she be taken to the docs or will it clear itself ?
You can buy stuff over the counter at the chemist for it, ask the pharmacist to have a quick look at it for you and see what they advise you to use. You could see your GP or health visitor if you are still unsure though.

ok thank u
Yes poor mite it does sound like oral thrush as dafft says. Don't panic over it lots of babes get it and a lot worse too. keep an eye on it, mention it at the clinic next time you go.

I am out of touch with the present day mores on feeding. Do 8 month olds eat dairy products? If so it might be worth giving some probiotic yoghurt. It could just be a simple mouth ulcer of course.
