5 weeks post birth and breast feeding - how do I treat thrush?

[Newmummy1995]

Hi! I've never had thrush before but down there has been so itchy the past few days. It's not my stitches as they've already healed. It's all red down there- is this thrush? I'm still slightly bleeding, expecting it to stop any day though. How can I treat it? I'd rather avoid the GP and just buy something from the shop but I don't know what's safe whilst breast feeding??

Thanks for your help xxx

You can use the Canestan vaginal pessary preparations but not the oral ones when BF... well you could a few years back!
