How do you clean your loved one's tongues? I tried wetting a hanky and then put in into his mouth to rub it, however he always closes his mouth or bite my finger making me kind of hard to rub them (fixed and limited area). Someone suggested me to use oral/dental wipes. I found the price kind of over budget. But does it help? If so, what brands do you recommend?

I use sterile gauze and dab with cool boiled water. I would suggest you do it when baby is more alert and happy. Talk to him telling him you are going to clean his mouth and please open the mouth. Repeat this several times. You will be surprised that baby does understand. If the mouth is closed, you can try to wait for baby to open mouth and try again.
