Thrush?

lol justinek. It is worth it.

Julz, Im sorry, I didnt know it was so expensive. It was quite a while ago that I bought it and I got it through the medical aid. I agree tho, it might be expensive but so worth it

Sounds like nappy rash if the Antpoel works when you use it and when you stop the rash comes back.

Try a layer of Antipoel, a layer of Bactraban, layer of bennetts bum cream and a layer of antifungal cream each time you change her and see if that works. Sounds like a lot of work but that usually works for me if a nappy rash rears its ugly head.

My niece also suffered with thrush/bladder infection alot, dr's told my sister to give her cranberry juice anf she is taking cranberry vitamins, she drinks a cranberry liquifruit juice everyday. Maybe Hannah is still small for it, maybe you can mix juice with water?

Daktarin not expensive. The oral gel was 180.00 and the bum gel was 220.00 or something. Very expensive but the best.

Thrush is fungal infection due to nice moist warm environments like nappy area and mouth. If your lo has it in the mouth it often goes through the body and presents as a bum rash too.

If you breastfeed treat your nipples too and steriize everything really well. It is persistant.

You may want to get reutri drops too which are probiotics and work well for thrush.x

Kyle had thrush at 6 weeks. It was little white spots in his mouth as well as on his bum. It wasnt a rash as the pead confirmed this. She told me that most babies when they get thrush for example on the bum, they will get it in the mouth as well and vice versa. She had told me to get Daktarin ( I think thats the name) its a white and green box. I got the oral for his mouth and the ointment for his bum. It was a few days and both were gone. You need to treat both if its in both areas or it wont go away.
Im not sure what causes the one on the bum, but the mouth one was because I didnt clean his mouth out after each feed properly. Try Daktarin, its not expensive and it worked for me. Good Luck
