WE had a mom of twins in our practice last year who had a bad case of
thrush, or so we thought. We suggested many options and she tried nearly
everything.  She was on diflucan for over 6 weeks, and was also sent to a
dermatoligist to rule out a bacterial problem.  This Dr. sent her to a
speciaist at Johns Hopkins and he advised her to wean, as she was just
giving the babies the thrush and continuing the cycle.  His advice was that
some moms just don't get over yeast until they wean.  Well mom called today,
the babies have been weanened for 1 year, she still has milk in her breasts
and is still experiencing pain in her breasts to the point that she doesn't
want her husband to touch her nipples. Her DR. has assured her that she
doesn't still have yeast  I'm wondering if anyone has any new ideas for this
mom?
