I breastfed my other two kids for a collective 7 years and I swear this time around is throwing me for a loop.....lol...
it looks like I have thrush as well....grrrr.
Oh, and my LLL leader told me that oversupply usually happens with thrust because the yeast breeds more milk. So, I'm dealing with that too. That was actually the first symptom. She's been choking on my overactive letdown and I was explaining the symptoms and mentioned that my breasts "tingled" between feedings and we realized that I have thrush. So far, dd doesn't have it. Her mouth doesn't have the patches and she doesn't seem to be in pain. I think I caught it pretty early...just some itching and my nipples are a wierdish orangish red color. They look raw, but they are okay pain wise. Oh, and when she latches there is a bit of pain, but it then goes away. It's mostly itchiness.
Sooooo, I'm doing GSE- 10 drops diluted in 1 oz of water applied after every feeding, taking probiotics, cutting sugar,and applying miconazole 2 times a day. We'll see....
me.
I've seen on Dr. Newman's site an ointment called APNO. How did you get the APNO?
So, do I need to wipe off the GSE before bfing? I'll wipe off/clean my breasts of the miconazole ointment but what about the GSE? Oh, and should I swipe my dd's mouth with the GSE mixture just to keep her from getting it or in case she does have it and doesn't have any outward signs??
I wanted to try this before going to the Genetian Violet just because GV is so messy. But will if I don't see a marked improvement in 3 days.
Anything else?
Thank you.....and we are still dealing with the Overactive letdown....nothing is helping- I've tried blockfeeds, pulling her off and expressing. She is now getting very upset after all of it and refuses to nurse.
