Betsy,
Thanks for posting on this. Could you clarify what you mean by Bactroban  
working for "yeasties"  but not "full blown yeast"? What clinical  differences 
would you note? I see Hale lists it as an antibiotic but I can't  find any refs 
on it being useful for yeast. I know it's one ingredient in APNO.  Wish more 
moms could get that.
 
Thanks,
Judy
