I've had thrush a couple of times before, but this is the worst. And now my right nipple is bleeding at every feed and dd looks like a vampire when she's fed from it. And I'm tired and fed up, but that's mostly the fault of the cats. Hairy little sods.
But I've been on fluconazole for a week, and it's not getting much better and the bleeding is getting worse, and frankly I am quite close to giving up, even though I'm only doing 2 feeds a day. The only reason I haven't so far is that dd has some food intolerances and eczema, so I don't want to catapault her onto a cows milk diet.
Any advice, help, other things I can try? (a kitchen door would be quite good too, then I could shut the bloody cats in at night, but never mind).
