Thrush

[Killamarsh]

Has anyone had any experience of thrush on babies? my little one has just had cold, stomach bug, and is teething. Her bum is so sore and red, I can only just bear changing her nappy. Doctor (not very helpful) has given me some thrush cream, and advised to put sudocream on it too. I always use sudocream and I am changing her bum (to my pain and hers) more often. Have I done something wrong? How long will it last. I feel horrible!!.

Hi you havent done anything wrong , its just what happens , babies urine gets stronger when they have went through all this , try and leave the nappy off for a bit when changing and let the air at it , my son has had bad nappy rash and i'm using Drapolene and its worked great , hope this helps

Thanks, I have been talking to a few mums too and it sounds very common especially with babies getting cold at this time of year. I am feeling a little better now, fingers crossed it will go quickly. Thankx again.
