Ellen, Having vaginal yeast does not guarantee getting nipple yeast. Speaking personally, if I were you, I would definitely cut back on the sugars, both artificial and natural, add yogurt with *live* culture, and maybe consider an alternative to monistat: tea tree oil is a highly concentrated oil with anti-fungal properties, and an RN friend of mine who suffered from frequent vag yeast infections douched with a diluted solution just *once* and rid herself of it altogether. I don't have the info, I remember that it was something like one or two drops in a cup of warm water (you can check in a book, or ask at the health food store, or read the package for suggestions!). If you want to be REALLY safe, maybe your husband can himself in this for a few minutes also? (anyone out there know exactly how asymptomatic males are normally treated for family yeast?) Good luck, hope something here is helpful to you. -Lisa ************************************************* Lisa Marasco, BA, LLLL, IBCLC [log in to unmask] / [log in to unmask] *************************************************
