I had horrific thrush with DS who was born by CS. I'm likely to have another CS (and therefore another massive dose of antiobiotics) and am very fearful of having a repeat performance of thrush. It nearly made me give up breastfeeding and is one of the most painful things that's every happened to me - both physically and emotionally! It took around 3-4 weeks to finally get shot of it.
Have been thinking that I can probably take pro-biotics immediately before and after delivery, and will possibly also start using Daktarin gel / cream on my nipples immediately before and after feeding.
Does anyone else who's been through this hell (or not!) have any suggestions on how I might be able to avoid this horrific experience a second time please?
