Just had a very difficult question from a mom whose baby (ventilator, 2 - 3oz, all sorts of signs of infection and many different antibiotics) is very sick.. He has been found to have "a fungus" she told me, and then she described to me pain and the usual classic symptoms of candidiasis in her own breasts. Question - she has been storing milk for this wee one in the hopes of giving it to him - but if the milk has candidiasis it would be devastating to give it to him. How long to be on diflucan before the milk is safe to store again - and how much of the milk previously stored needs to be thrown away? Baby is 2 weeks old and she has had the breast pain for 3 days.
