thats right, u dont need to clean tongue for breastfed babies

u need to clean, if formula is fed.

cleaning with sterilised cotton-cloth/plain white cotton hanky.... on your first finger... dipped in boiled and cooled water, as suggested by someone, is the right way.

you can clean your baby tongue by wrapping your first finger with cotton cloth. make sure the cloth is sterilised.clean the gums first and then clean the tongue.
this will not cause any bacteria deposits. i did that for my baby.keep your baby mouth clean.
honey is not for babies below 1 year.
