Sounds like it could be thrush to me - try the daktarin on both your nipple and babies mouth. Jensen's paed suggested using a small swab of gauze, put the daktarin on that and wipe the inside of babies mouth and tongue - took the thrush away within 48 hours.

Ouch this hurts. Okay daktarin ORAL gel on your nipples and in baby's mouth. It is the best treatment. Your baby may get thrush in the nappy area too as it goes through the body and out the other end.

Probiotics for you and drops for baby like reutri drops.

Important to use new breastpads after every feed and wash your bras on a very hot wash to kill thrush.

If you can sit in the sun exposed then do it.

Sterilize dummies etc in sterilon too or it spreads.

Please use the daktarin gel for a few days after the symptoms dissapear as thrush comes back reallly easily.

Hope it goes soon.

maybe try using nipple cream, I went to baby city and asked for the best they had, it was expensive but well worth it. the name is lansinoh and it will do wonders.

Also try cleaning your child's mouth, my doctor recommended I use glycerine and an ear bud, dip the ear bud in glycerine and then clean her tongue with it, it worked for me.


if push comes to shove buy the nipple shields, that how far I went.
