i am currently bf my 6wk old DS. all was going well until i got cracked nipples and thrush. got treatment 1 wk ago, daktarin for my and nystatin for him. we had a horrid scare on Friday when my DS vommited a large amount of fresh blood! it didn't cross my mind it was from me as there was never any blood in his mouth after feeding. anyway he was checked out and all was well.
so today saw gp for 6 wk check and she refused to give me fluconazole for the thrush. she told me to give him some bottles to give nipples a rest!!...great advice! we gave him a couple on friday after he was in hospital as i was so sore and distressed, of course he then ended up constipated!
i am trying so hard to get damn thrush cleared and treat cracks (they are a bit better) does anyone think that using lansinoh and daktarin is a bad idea or shoud i still use both! worried that lansinoh is causing nice moist environment for thrush!
any advice would be great!
