A mom ask me something that has never before occurred to me, if we use
gentian violet on mucus membranes (baby's mouth), and on broken skin
(mother's nipples) why is it not used on the baby's bottom?  Sorry if this
has been discussed.
Also, if the baby had a rash on its bottom that cleared with over the counter
yeast medication quickly, and has not other signs of thrush in her mouth,
except the white tongue.  Now I know white tongues don't mean thrush, all the
time.  But if it is normal then why don't all BF babies have white tongues?
Maybe these are both easy questions, but my brain is still in postpartum
fried mode.  My baby will be one on June 12th, so I only have so much longer
to use that excuse!
