thrush

[kaelysmom]

My little man is 2 wks old and he has been doing so good bfing. My other two kids wouldn't latch so I didn't get to do it for long. Well unfortunately I have gotten thrush in the breast tissue on both sides. It has become extremely painful to feed him but im trying to push through. I cant get us seen by the dr til.later in the week. Does anybody know of any home remedies I could use?

Use Monistat. Found in the tampon section at target (or wherever). Its a topical cream for vaginal yeast infection.

Or you can use gentian violet. Check out this website for help… https://www.breastfeedinginc.ca/content.php?pagename=doc-CP
