Thrush

So I bottle feed so didnt need the antibiotics myself but I never knew about this despite having an older child because she never had it as a baby. When my son had his 10 day check up he was caked in it. Went to the docs and was given the oral antibiotics. We needed a second week dose of it to fully clear it and it was still there at his 6 to 8 week check but the doc was happy that it would go on its own at thar point. He's now 9 weeks and its gone. It can be stubborn. I made sure that we sterilised his dummies, toddler dummies, and took extra care with the bottles. Daughter also got thrush so was obviously putting his stuff in her mouth at some point two so ended up on the treatment too 🤦🏻‍♀️ but managed to get rid of hers with a week treatment as noticed it when it was just starting on her bottom lip.

Ah my daughter is on it for 14 days and so am I, but I breastfeed so this is honestly awful and I’m so scared we’ll pass it back and forth 🙃

it’s interesting, she’s the third baby I’ve nursed. I never had problems with the other two. So this is a first for me. Everything has been disinfected and I give her medicine, and then wait 5-10 minutes while I “clean” myself and nurse. My baby won’t take a bottle so unfortunately the only thing I can do is just clean myself before she feeds and after and then use the ointment . We seem to be improving but I have already disinfected all my pump stuff and her toys, and I’m washing clothes. I’ve been very OCD to make sure I clean everything constantly at the moment
