Lisa et al, Thankyou for your comments about yeast. I did not mention that the mother I saw with persistent yeast had received a number of the treatments prior to seeing us at the "walk-in". What was done was done. What is important, is that mothers be informed of the risk factors of taking antibiotics, (ie. routinely given for PROM., or Ceasarean), of S&S, and of proper treatment for mother and baby. If we are going to educate physicians "collectively" this is certainly one area I'd like to see covered. This mother spent nearly $500. in treatments to date, some of them inappropriate or ineffective. By the way, I saw this mom today and she says babe has stopped "popping off" (Any ones guess as to why!) and she is only feeling discomfort when wearing her bra. (she has tried 4 different types). Once again, thanks for your support, one and all, and comments welcome! Diana, who feels that she knows less and less each day while learning more and more.
