What is the difference between a child mother tongue and his first language?

Depending on what you mean by "first language", there may be no difference. For most people it implies the language you learned first, which is your mother tongue. But for some it might mean "the language you are most fluent in or use most often" which might not be your mother tongue, if, for example, you emigrated at an early age.

What do you mean by first language?

your first language is the language you learnt when you were a baby. For example When I was born I was born to parents that spoke Dutch so the language I first spoke was Dutch.

I know people that don't even remember their first language.
