antibiotics. Then yeast & thrush developed, so the pair went on
Nystatin; then mastitis diagnosed, so mom took antibiotics 2 more weeks.
Yeast persisted, so mom & baby used Gentian Violet for 5 days.
The entire time baby was supplemented with Similac. 5 days ago (baby is
6 wks now) Baby had blood in stool and has been very irritable . After
blood in stool appeared Dr. changed formula supp to Nutramagen and then
told mom to stop giving breastmilk to baby. Dr. is saying that baby
probably has a rare allergy to protein in mom's milk. ???
I think it is much more likely that the baby was reacting to the cows'
milk protein in the Similac, but of course, it is much easier to blame
the breastfeeding :((
