Thick breast milk sometimes I noticed when my babies were getting colds my breastmilk would produce thicker and more yellow and they get yellow on their tongues but I agree with the other moms hear your child might have thrush

Could be diff things. Try to use those baby mouthwipes to cleanse lo mouth, if doesnt wrk take in.

OP: he is formula fed.

Poss milk build up…get a wet rung out wash cloth and wash his mouth…tongue…gums…any teeth…if he has patches of white its prob thrush though and will need to be seen by his doctor…
