Please give me your advice...My LO is 5 weeks old and I have a yeast infection. It hurts like you-know-what whenever he nurses on that side. I'm so grateful it's only on one side right now, but I know it can spread. I'm trying yogurt compresses and lots of air drying. I'm taking garlic and acidolpholus pills. But I've only started these things today. Any other ideas? How long til I get relief? Oh, I'm also swabbing out LO's mouth with yogurt after each feeding. I've avoided nursing on that side today, pumping after the feeding and giving him that bottle. I'm hoping for some immediate advice I can apply right away. I really want to get this cleared up. Thanks!
