Hello All! My best friends' daughter delivered her son last week. She is determined to breastfeed as she weaned her first early. She went to the pediatricians yesterday for 1 week check up. Baby has nasty case of thrush and her nipples are really red and tender. The nurse practitioner was willing to treat both of them. Nystatin was prescribed for the baby and mom was given 'a powder' to 'dust' her nipples four times a day. She was also told that she would have to pump for 10 days until they were done with the medication because 'they would just pass it back and forth and never get rid of the yeast'. It was a good thing that I was sitting down!
