My sister gave birth to her third son about 11 days ago. He is nursing like a champ! I have a quick question. Her first child she got a catheter during the epidural and after the birth got a urinary infection. Her 2nd child she started antibiotics after the birth and did not get an infection. This child was her first VBAC. She did get an epidural and catheter. 2 days ago she started complaining of back pain. Now she has a temp. and was admitted back to the hospital. They decided it was a urinary track infection of some sort and she is on antibiotics. The nurses were telling her not to nurse (because of the fever). I let her know it was O.K. to nurse the baby. He is rooming in with her. I am having her follow an anti-yeast diet while on the antibiotics. She seems prone to thrush. Are there many moms that get infections like this after using catheters?
