Okay DD has a few spots of thrush in her mouth
I was using GSE but because you have to apply every hour and I miss a bunch cause I'm out of the house or whatever...I don't think it's working.

I need to know what is the best thing to get rid of thrush...
vinegar
gse
gentian violet

I also need to know how to get rid of the yeast on toys that say they cannot be immersed in water...

Also, 30 drops in the wash for dipes....will that be enough to kill the yeasty beasties?

first things first, best way to help get rid of Thrush(yeast) faster, is to cut out the simple sugars in your diet. Yeast thrives on sugar, so I would suggest cutting out anything sugary and white breads. Baby eats what you do, so.....

As for toys, you could probably use disinfectant wipes on them or use vinegar water on a paper towel to disinfect them.

I don't know what it is you are putting in your wash, that comment was confusing, but bleach or peroxide would probably do it. About a quarter cup to a full cup depending on load size.

Good luck.

oops, I meant 30 drops of gse (grapefruit see extract)

FYI....you have to toss any toy that is made of soft plastic b/c yeast apparently thrive there and are almost impossilbe to kill (i.e., paci, nipple from bottle, teething stuff, etc.).
Otherwise, vinegar water and sunlight will do the trick.
