white. i KNEW he wasn't sick. didn't finish the bottle b.c maybe for once he didn't feel like it. was irritable b.c he woke up extra early and needed to be put down for his nap earlier, and i said if they checked his tongue right after his bottle, he probably still had formula in his mouth making his tongue white. they still insisted i take him to ped. i was annoyed and ped thought it was ridiculous and that they should defer to the parent. db is fine. that said, he fell asleep in the carseat and slept for 2 hours. how would you handle with daycare?
