Breastfeeding General Chatter #13

Me and bub have thrush... again. I could just cry. Feeding is even more painful now. After battling with thrush for about 9 weeks I finally thought we'd seen the end of it. Obviously not.

Thats so tough You are an amazingly strong person, putting up with all these struggles to give your daughter the very best. You are simply amazing.

ETA - thought I would update here, not sure that I have. Up 100g on Saturday night, so now 5kg. Plus today she latched on for the first time with no pain - yeeha!

mumof2boys - Last thing you need!!! I hope you can sort it asap. I found daktarin gel to work well.

mumof2boys...I have been battling thrush since before Easter, so I hear you! I am currently on oral Nilstat, second course and still have pain. I am seeing a thrush specialist at the RWH on Friday. Have you been taking oral medication as well as using the gel? It so completely and utterly sucks. I am also on the anti-candida diet, which is starting to help (after 3 weeks). I havew constant pain in my back and breasts, although feeding has improved.

Hang in there. I am thinking of you.
