Hi everyone,
Well I guess I need to re-issue my request. I only had one reply ( thank you
) and one person that asked me to share with them the answers I got. Well I
need a little more info. I requested info. on what everyone is currently
reccomending for thrush, both mother and baby. I am very interested. I
specifically want to know about Diflucan (sp). Effects on baby etc.
I also want to say thank you to those that responded to my mentoring plea.
I'm starting to get back into the swing of things. I've been more or less not
helping moms for the past 5 months. I felt so out of practice but it's coming
back. I've done home visits with 2 moms recently and they both had positive
outcomes. Yea! 2 more things I want to say, I'm so sorry for the L.C. that
had the mom call about the baby with sids, that must have been hard on you as
well as the parents. I have always loved when moms bring the baby in for a
"look how great" session. My thoughts are with you and the parents. I seem to
also remember someone talking about when things don't go well. I've had my
share I think we all have. Like you pointed out, you have to remember all
those that you do help. I also keep an " I love me" book. In it I put cards
from moms and pictures they send me of their babies. I also have things like
my first meeting notice ( LLL) and my kudos from the Red Cross for my BFing
classes. When I'm really down and feel like BFing rates will never go up and
I see women with bottles all day long ( very depressing to me ) I get my book
out and remember the nervous mom I spent % wks with. Yes, % weeks! She was
very unsure of everything. She now has a second child and has no problems. It
makes me feel good and reminds me that I do make a difference one mom at a
time. Well that's it, again please let me know what you all are reccomending
for thrush.
Thanks,
Mimi in Columbia S.C.
