Hi! I just got a call from a mother who has been struggling with thrush for her and her baby for 2 months now. She says she has tried almost everything and she is at her wits end. She said she was told by a midwife that going to a tanning salon and laying in a tanning bed would help and I am curious to know what you all thing about that. She also said she was planning to pump and dump and give her baby her friends breast milk. This was another suggestion that she got and she would like to know how long she should do this for. I told her I would post to this group to see what kind of advice I could get. If there is anything else that you would like to share that would be great. Thank you!
