Cleaning Newborn's Mouth

How do you clean your Newborn's tongue and gums? My LO is two months old now, and I've tried using the tongue cleaner as well as finger gauze. Each time she'd crying bloody murder or throw up (even though I wait at least an hour after her feeding).

I use a cotton pad, dipped in boiled warm water.. try to distract her with some cute facial expressions to encourage her to open her mouth before sticking your finger in to clean her tongue. Hope that helps!
