Maka asked a week ago (I *knew* I could never keep up!):

<<   my apologies if someone has already mentioned this; i'm WAY behind! but
it is my understanding based on a study i read about water-based vs.
glycerin-based vaginal lubricants (so sorry, i don't have the reference
anymore--computer crash since then) that the glycerin-based lubricants were
more likely to be associated with yeast overgrowth. i wonder if these
glycerin-based pads will show the same thing? just a thought...>>

I can't say with certainty that we have had NO yeast with the moms using the
Comfort-Aid hydrogel dressings like I can say we've had no mastitis, but I am
certain we've not had an increase in incidence of yeast.  In fact, it may be
less than normal.  I'll have to intentionally watch for any possible
association.
