Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Babies who are on exclusive breast feeding or formula feeding will have a greyish white patch over the tongue.
No treatment is necessary.
It disappears once you start weaning and introducing other foods.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
