What about the study that indicated expressed breast milk left at room temp actually showed a reduction in bacterial count between immediately after pumping and several hours later? If I remember correctly, this was normal skin flora. Would the same apply with thrush? Or, since thrush is not a bacteria, would it be different? Do the normal macrophages in human milk only work on bacteria?
