Hi Mickey,
Poor little one.  Yeasty rashes ARE very itchy...  Can the baby do oatmeal 
soaks?  The rash itself is not dangerous..The only danger would be from 
itching to the point to breaking skin and causing secondary infection.  Oatmeal 
is very soothing and use it alot for poison oak etc. Did mom do a full coarse of 
Diflucan treatment?  Day one 400 mg, then 200 mg daily X 21 days?  What 
about grapefruit seed extract and maybe some gentian on her nipples?  Be 
sure to tell the mom that this isn't from "her" milk....It's from the antibiotics.  
Glad to hear she is dairy free...Keep her away from sugars too.  Yeast thrives 
on sugar in our diet.  

Please stay in touch...  Maybe someone else can post on what I may have 
missed.  I feel for baby and the Yeast rash.  It can be miserable...If the 
topicals are not helpful, ask about the oatmeal bath.   You can buy it over the 
counter in little bags for the bath.

Take Care
Robin
