I'm feeding my 6 day old DD and despite feeding my DS for 10 months, all of the same initial problems I had with him are arising with her. I really thought (naively) that I'd be ok this time. Not sure why now as had vaginal thrush throughout my pregnancy so really was inevitable. Last time, I basically suffered horrendously painful feeds for 6 weeks when I finally realised I had nipple and breast thrush and treated with canestan and fluconazole (together with cutting back on sugar). I'm pretty sure I already have thrush again this time and want to stop it in it's tracks asap. However, I'm a bit concerned about taking fluconazole when my DD is only a week old. I'd rather wait until she is about 5 weeks like my DS but not sure I can cope with the pain until then. Please let me know what age your LO was when you took fluconazole. Thanks in advance.
