what can i do about oral thrush in my 12 months old baby?

my baby got oral thrush.. i wonder what is there i can do for it? i wonder if i got it on my nipple too cuz it hurts when im breastfeeding her. at first i meditation it was just her new teeth that i wasn't used to but now im wondering if i got thrush infection from her. what could have caused thrush?? i dont understand how she could have got it.



My 3 week old mollycoddle girl has it, and it made my nipples really sore (more than the usual starting nursing soreness), so dr gave her oral nystatin (averse-fungal) and topical nystatin cream for me to use on my nipples. If really severe, you can take precription Diflucan. It is an anti-fungal remedy. I also have probiotics (jarro-dophilous) I rub in her cheeks to balance out the yeast. It is common I was told as baby is regulating and comparison yeast (flora) and bacteria. Cutting back on sugars, even some fruits, juice etc., can keep from feeding the yeast (I was on a yeast-liberated diet for 7 years until pregnant). My baby is just on breastmilk for now, so I'm careful about my sugar and take probiotics. Good blessing!
  • Thrush is VERY common. Don't panic. The best thing is to give her any medication the doctor gives and just keep feeding her. Even if your nipple hurts it will seem better to feed off of it.
  • Thrush is a yeast infection of the mouth, you need some gentian violet from the drug store, pigment your nips and babies mouth and nurse nurse nurse http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/thrush/thrush-expressed-milk.html http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/thrush/thrush-fund.html
