I agree Heather.  There is no evidence that Candida, if it can live in
breastmilk, would "rekindle" the infection.  *Do not throw away breastmilk*.

Candida lives in two forms, a hyphal form and a yeast form.  The yeast form
is non pathogenic.  This would be the form it would exist in milk and is the
form in which it is all around us.  You can't get rid of Candida, you can
only reconcile with eachother.
