we've been using an oral thing from the doctor - and the ped actually recommended gv as the other stuff hasn't been working. ugh.
[ Reply | Options ]you are probably using nystating; by diflucan I mean a pill for you, which totally works and gets into your milk too for db. Talk to LC, or better a bf doctor if you know one (Mona Gabbay in NY)
[ Reply | Options ]No, this is not true. Diflucan is effective but only on the person using it. What passes through your milk is "not clinically relevant" hence its safety to breastfeeding mothers. If you and your baby BOTH have thrush you should both be treated. If only one has it, only one needs treatment. I do recommend Dr. Gabbay also or several other good IBCLCs in the area.
[ Reply | Options ]Diflucan would not be sufficient for the baby; still need to use topicals, but it certainly doesn't hurt based, based on available data

But if one of us has it, can't we pass it back and forth? That's what I'm worried about.
[ Reply | Options ]Again, sorry so long to respond, hope you read this. You can only pass it back and forth if there is an opening for the infection. If your nipples are healthy (which they are not if cracked), then you wouldn't get it. If baby's mouth is intact, he'l be fine. Actually, I see lots of moms with infx, very few babies.

Messy and it has to be diluted to the correct strength so you don't get a burn. But effective, very
[ Reply | Options ]awesome. i need to put it on my nipples as well. this sounds more and more fun the more i hear about it.

cracked nipple, a little whitish, a little sore. i've used the "special" diaper rash ointment they gave me for dd - they said i could use it on my nipples as well.
[ Reply | Options ]Sore just while nursing or all the time. Sensitive to touch, fabric, shower, towel? Golden crust on it? Whitish -- hmmm, all the time or just sometimes?
[ Reply | Options ]Sore while nursing or pumping - but it just started. I don't want to wait for it to get really sore!
[ Reply | Options ]Sorry so long to respond, had to go but watching. Anyway, if its only sore while nursing or pumping, its probably not an infection, that would generally be sore to normal activity (touch, shower, etc.). More likely latch related and/or pumping with suct suction too high. Are you being evaluated by a very good recommended IBCLC? Your ped or OB usually wouldn't be right about this stuff -- no training in it.

So I see above baby clearly dx with thrush. More than just tongue, on gums, cheeks too? Does your nipple hurt like a burning sensation or cut glass?
[ Reply | Options ]She had it on her tongue, gums and cheeks, but not it's actually just mostly on her lips and a bit on the roof of her mouth (but WILL NOT go away). And, my nipples are a bit sore, but not horribly sore, and certainly not like cut glass or burning. Just sore and one is cracked, which has never happened to me before.
[ Reply | Options ]GV would probably work great on her or you could ask ped for oral diflucan. My advice would be see a good IBCLC so you can find out what's going on. You shouldn't be getting cracks and pain 5 months out. She can assess what caused the cracking and if you have an infection or not. GL!

UrbanBaby Asks...
When I ride in a taxi cab with my DC I:
- Use a carseat
- Buckle him/her in his/her own seat
- Hold him/her on my lap
- I'd never ride in a taxi with my DC, it's much too dangerous!
