This is what Jack Newman, MD says about it:

There are no current standards , but this is what is currently being done in
practice.

There is no research and no agreement among health professionals on handling
frozen
breastmilk that was pumped during an active yeast imbalance.  Heating does
kill yeast and I suggest that you  thaw the milk, heat it to scalding and
feed it to the baby (after cooling, of
course). I also recommend that if you are pumping after  the yeast
imbalance is resolved, you  should clearly label this milk so that you
don't add unnecessary work.


I am of the opinion that a healthy gut and healthy immune system will not
be susceptible to yeast overgrowth from ingesting Candida-laced milk, but
one never knows how healthy an infant's gut and immune system are. We don't
know how long it takes to restore the gut to optimal health so we might as
well not take the chance.

Remember that there is no safe substitute for your breastmilk, just in case
you are thinking that formula
would be an acceptable alternative to the risk of re-infecting your infant.
