Hello All,
I have the mothers permission to ask for advice about her particular  
situation. This mother is pregnant with her second baby and the repeat C/S  is planed 
for Feb. She is an RN and was a client of mine with her first  baby. Her 
original consultation was because of decreased milk supply and  very painful 
nipples. We determined and she was treated for yeast  (with the usual diet changes, 
garlic capsules and long tern Difluican) and  Raynauds (treated with 
Nifedipine). In addition, she was able to increase  her milk supply within a short 
time by taking Fenugreek and double  electric breast pumping. Moreover, one the 
HORRIFIC pain was diminished  she put her baby back to breast with no 
difficulty. She breastfed him  happily for a year. I will now include her description 
of her current  situation and hopefully you can offer us some guidance about 
her twofold  conditions (current yeast and some symptoms of Raynauds of her 
nipples)  and her concern re: antibiotics post C/S.
 
Hello Nancy,
I was hoping you could give me some preparatory advice for baby #2. I  am due 
in 2-3 weeks and have all ready experienced some symptoms of  Raynaud's.
I have been on a double course of antibiotics and have already been  cultured 
with "Tons" of yeast. I have been on Terazol for 7 days but found  out 
yesterday that I cultured positive for Strep and I will need more  antibiotics 
before I have my C/S. We are scheduled for 2/25 unless the  baby decided to come 
sooner. I am also on Flovent from chronic bronchitis  and I know that can cause 
thrush for me. I am out on maternity leave since  I haven't been able to shake 
this upper respiratory infection (since  November). I wonder if I should 
start loading up on garlic Acidophilus,  etc. I this is a lot to deal with and I 
will be happy to schedule an  appointment with you to sort this all our. Please 
let me know how to set  up and appointment with you so I can joyfully breast 
feed my second baby.  Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you.
 
I will share your thoughts and recommendations with this mother if  you give 
me permission to do so.
Thank you,
Nancy
