lucy I think you can take the canesten pill when bf-ing but only after the baby is 6 weeks old, or something similar - you would need to check. Anti fungal tablets can go into the milk and it's about their liver being mature enough. This is why we struggled so much with the nipple --> Breast duct thrush that I ended up with because the hospital paediatrician didn't remember that I should be treated too so I struggled for a couple of weeks all infected while re infecting dd all the time, it was horrid. Trouble is nipple thrush is just painful and breast thrush stabs very painfully but doesn't look any different, and the nipples just look a bit red... But then they are being ravaged anyway so it was not obvious to me what was going on!!! Eventually when she was old enough I got miconazole treatments for both of us instead of nystatin (well, after another false start of the gp telling me to put dd's oral miconazole gel on my nipples... This does not work, it doesn't soak in, and the doctor and midwife another week later told me it was pointless (as well as sticky!!!)) With a short course of tablets, cream, gel for her and then continuing all the creams and oral gel another week we FINALLY got on top of it when she was 9 weeks load and suddenly breastfeeding was comfortable and such a joy. Sadly when she was about 14 weeks old I had to go on a new medicine and stop all breastfeeding anyway, and I was so sad and gutted. Hopefully this time all will go to plan!
I meant vaginal/urethral thrush though... No vaginal symptoms except yellow discharge but mainly all around the top where you wee. Odd. But had wee dipped on Thursday so hopefully all is ok.
Dd chucked a book on my bump this morning. Not only was that uncomfy but what was I think worse was that she made the baby jump to the point where he pretty much bounded out of my opposite side, it really hurt! Then she did it again and the poor baby still wasn't ready for it! And dh, next to me on the iPad was none the wiser 
Thinking we might actually buy the baby a new nursery set just from Ikea and leave dd with her current bed and furniture til the baby grows out of his cot in 18-24 months time and needs the cot bed - at that point dd can choose a cabin bed or whatever she wants because she'll be 3 and a half. Anything we choose now has to be a normal type bed really and there aren't many shops with nice low beds we are happy to pay the prices for for a short term appropriately sensibly-heighted bed!!! In a way feel a bit bad for ds having a much cheaper set but his room is smaller than dd's and white furniture would be better, and he can choose whatever he likes in 3-4 hrs time.
Being able to kit out his room for under £400 is tempting anyway and we can save some pennies and spoil him with other stuff perhaps... Trying to justify myself anyway...
