Lisa, is TTO safe for the nursing infant? I've learned that TTO is a more agressive etheric oil and should be used with very much caution only in infants.
Is using it as a rinsing medium for mom sufficiant in clearing thrush in the nursing couple? I'd like to have it as workable alternative to Gentian Violet, because doctors and pharmacists usually make a lot of fuss if mom starts talking about GV.

I have found that adding a few drops of Tea Tree Oil to the hot water wash,
is very helpful in getting rid of yeast. I have used it when I was nursing
and when my older daughter kept having yeast infections. I couldn't really
seem to get rid of the yeast until I started washing with the Tea Tree Oil
and hot water. I initially bought the oil at a health food store, but I
think you can even get it at Walmart now. I always recommend it to moms
dealing with thrush.
