Thrush

[Flittingaboutagain]

Keep passing it back and forth to newborn. Help! It's agony. I'm not stopping bf. Can I apply caneston to the nipple? Have tried tablets and gel.

So sorry that you haven't had any responses @Flittingaboutagain.

There are some resources about thrush here on Kellymom but you might want to give one of the BFing Helplines a call as they'll have the most up to date information

Thank you. It's so painful.

You poor thing. We're the resources of any use? Have you got the Helpline numbers? A BFC should be able to help you

Yes very. I have had attachment and positioning checked already so could do with a swab but I'm sure it's thrush. Caneston is likely to cause an allergic reaction so won't do that.
