What jumps out at me is she got vaginal yeast infections while pregnant each
time she and her husband had sexual intercourse.  While a woman may be more
susceptible to yeast while pregnant the red flag I am seeing concerns
clearing up the yeast in the WHOLE family/  Treating vaginal yeast, diaper
rash, jock itch, foot fungus, dog/cat ear yeast, etc. and coupling that with
a household yeast cleaning - towels, sheets, undergarments, etc.

I like to share the following article from Mothering magazine with women who
are experiencing persistent and recurring yeast.
