Soph, hope it gets better really soon! I had a bad case of thrush (was on diflucan for 4 weeks!), and it was really painful and frustrating.

Just wanted to let you know about these great things i used in hospital with DS to help with sore nipples - they are hydrogel pads called Mothers Mates, you put them in the fridge and they are very soothing and help nipples to heal. Probably wouldn't do much for the thrush, so i would only use them to try and get to heal the cracks.

But see what Barb says, she would know best how to get them to heal.

Oh, i also had terrible cracks in my nipples, the LC i saw said sometimes the crack is healed but the dip stays there for a long time, so it looks like it is still cracked even when its not.
