hi paula
a couple more things come to mind re repeated candida infections. does the
mother have diabetes or other risk factor for candida like steroid
medication use? does the mother have unresolved vaginal yeast infection
which baby contacted if vaginal birth? if so this should be treated as well
as the partner if he has possible candida as well. frequent pacifier use in
baby? can lead to infection or re-infection for baby
and transfer to mom.
i usually recommend mother take a probiotic such as acidophillus capsules to
help restore friendly bacteria in her system.
there is a wealth of  info on yeast in our archives as well.
