If I had thrush would baby have too?

[dancingfruit]

I don’t see any white on babies mouth and she is fine feeding yet lately my boobs (nipple) feels hot and ticklish when baby feeds, though hot feeling generally anytime. I have no discharge and nipples look the same I think. I therefore wondered could it still be thrush and baby not have?

I honestly don't know the answer to that one but Kellymom is usually good for this kind of thing or you could try one of the BFing Helplines?

How are you both getting on now @dancingfruit?

Hi @PritiPatelsMaker still unsure, seen GP today and he did no examinations but did prescribe fluconazole and gel for her mouth and cream for me. I’m just scared if I treat and it’s not it! :((

This is a really good resource- thrush is hugely over diagnosed in the UK...
