>Subject: Yeast & Sore Nipples followup

>On 2/28 I posted about a g2p2 who presented for the first time via phone 9
>days post-partum.  Briefly, the scenario was:
>   pp1= small crack on one nipple
>   pp2= began expressing milk, pp3= vaginal itch and severe dryness of her
>mouth
>   pp4= saw her ob who prescribed diflucan, pumped and fed baby expressed milk
>
>   pp6= took diflucan once, did a "pump and dump" until PP8
>   pp8 = put baby back to the breast
>   pp9=nipple pain had increased, no vaginal itching, crack on nipple healed,
>baby had small white patches inside mouth. Mom's "seared" feeling inside of
>mouth persisted, has tight, dry-skin-like sensation which has traveled from
>PP3-9 from one ear, across chin, to other ear, externally.
>        My thoughts:  yeast?  Shouldn't mom and baby both have been treated?
>Are
>they passing it back and forth?  Why didn't she start diflucan as soon as it
>was prescribed?  WHY didn't she call sooner?.....
>
>        Here's a followup:  Its now pp13.  For the mom, the MD advised peroxide
>gargles, said external and internal facial "thing"  was due to vitamin
>deficiency,  did some bloodwork (exactly what, the mom didn't know).  Baby
>still has white patches inside mouth and will finally be seen by pediatrician
>on March 3.  Infant breastfeeds with no apparent discomfort to mom's nipples,
>and MD (who breastfed her own twins) advised applying vaseline to nipples
>after each feed.  We discussed vaseline as being occlusive, and concern about
>possibility of thrush, and culturing. The MD, who saw only the mom, not the
>baby, feels it isn't thrush, so mom is "not concerned". Oh, my.....The saga
>continues....
>        Sincere thanks to all of you who e-mailed me with your wonderful
thoughts and
>ideas.  As a special note to Donna Z. (who was disappointed that I, and
>others, asked to be e-mailed separately)....I understand your concerns.  I
>also wish the case histories would unfold on Lactnet so we could all learn
>from them.  Speaking only for myself, I was eager to get some feedback asap,
>and knew I might not have the opportunity to read my digests for a few days.
>But I agree, its frustrating not to be able to see the outcomes of some cases!
