I am now slightly freaked out, I'm on day 4 of a course, my GP was slightly clueless about prescribing it and my baby is only 4 weeks.

That'a v. interesting occ- thanks for sharing.

Btw, do you know what Epstein Pearls are?

Snakeonaplane- do your symptoms match up with those mentioned in the info sheet?

Yes they do and the pain has completely gone but I'm worried about the bit about the toxicity in the baby, I don't know whether I should carry on taking the course.

If you have concerns snake, you could give Wendy at the BfN a ring- she wrote the information sheet, so she should be able to give you some advice.

snake this is v new info updating what we knew before. Thousands of mums have taken the course and it's all been fine. As badger says, give the BfN drugs line a call - they'll give you the very best advice.

Occ- is the info saying that it is likely to be thrush only if there pain after a feed and not during and after a feed?

Sorry for questions, I just need to get it clear in my head. Am going to bfing supprot group today, so want to pass the info on.

Ta muchly.
