On the subject of thrush and discarding things, LLL [1] suggests that
all bottle nipples, pacifiers etc be discarded after one week of thrush
treatment. This is no small change for someone frequently expressing
and using high-quality, high-cost silicone teats. Surely boiling these
items for ten minutes would be more than adequate to eliminate any live
yeast?
