Help! Do I have to throw out my milk?

[PugMama22]

My baby has thrush in the mouth - it's been there for quite some time, possibly his whole life (2months old) and I thought it was just milk on his tongue but the Dr thinks it's thrush. I have a freezer full of milk - do I have to throw out all my milk because it's probably contaminated with thrush? We are going to start treating it immediately... Someone please help!

It should be fine as long as you washed your pump between feeds. Your bm naturally sterilises your nipples so really your milk should be okay.

I hope you LO's thuan goes quickly xx

I pump so I sterilized all the bottle parts and he started a prescription. I really hope I don't have to throw out my supply ��������

Anyone ever had nipple thrush?!? What are the symptoms?

My nipples looked OK but I would have pain after feeding. Like shooting pains. Sometimes sore towards end of feed too.

I thought it was milk on tongue too so don't feel bad x x.
Thrush lives on skin surface so as pp said if pump was clean keep your milk.
