hi girls,
so today was my sons 2 month well baby visit and my ped was concerned he may have thrush. he said it could just be milk on his tongue. he told me to take a warn wet gauze pad and try to wipe it off, if it doesnt to start him on nyastatin orally and for me to put it on my nipples.
i tried to wipe it off, some came off but some is still on his tonge. it doesnt look alarming, i think pretty normal, but i would think a baby that young should have a pretty clean tongue, so im unsure.
it makes sence cuz i had a yeast infection a wk before he was born, and he was a c section, so i was on antibiotics after and im breast feeding. i also have a major sweet tooth and with so many friends bringing meals over, i have definitely had my share of baked goods. ( bad idea i no, i have stopped all sugar about a wk ago).
i usually try to treat everything naturally. but the dr said to give the baby the meds to be on the safe side. i really no nothing about nyastatin. is it horrible? what should i do? is it safer to give it to him to clear out the yeast? or what else would clear it well enough? and what can i do that will help clear it out of me so i dont pass it to him?
i no to give him a good probiotic, and for me to take a good one. and i no to not eat sugar.
please help!
