Probiotics are absolutely fine in the baby's mouth. I always recc just
as what was described- swipe the baby's mouth about 4-5 times a day with
acidophilus powder. Nystatin will almost always cause a diaper rash
after the first 1-2 days of use. For that rash, I recommend a topic
antifungal such as clotrimazole or nystatin ointment. For many babies,
though, the rash goes away in 4-5 days without any special treatment.
