Ok, I just opened the box that said "Breastfeeding" in preparation for the baby due any day now to wash tops and bras, and I realized that some of the items in there are things I wore when I actively had thrush. I always wore nursing pads, but we all know there's some leakage onto the bra.
To give some history, I had very resistant thrush and basically had to go all the way on Dr. Newman's thrush protocol to get rid of it, plus we also took steps in our home to get rid of yeast (didn't use towels, changed laundering habits, diet, etc.) Everything I wore when I had thrush was washed and dried HOT with vinegar, as was everything that touched my son's mouth.
My question is, should I use the stuff with the new baby or should I not risk the chance there's yeast in the fabric and just toss them and buy new. I do have hand me downs from friends who never had thrush, so I wouldn't be starting over completely.
