Or should i take her to the doctor before trying the canesten? Looks like thrush to me.

Take her to the GP, I think Canestan has steroids in the cream, not good for tiny skin.

Take her to the GP, please don't self medicate.

I'd go to the doctor as my 3 year old was given a lower strength dose version. I think the adult one is 2% and her one was 0.something. If you are breast feeding might be worth checking your breasts too as it can transmit orally if any there.
