I need some clarification on "concurrent" treatment of mother and baby
for thrush.  The mother has symptoms consistent with thrush (deep breast
pain, nipple "burn" after feedings, etc) and is taking fluconazole 100
mg twice daily until 1 week after the pain has resolved.  When and how
should the baby be treated?  With nystatin for the entire time the
mother is treated--or with gentian violet at the beginning, middle,
and/or end of the mother's therapy?

Thanks.
