I have a mom who has been experiencing an increasing burning sensation while nursing along with sore nipples and a fussy baby. I suspect thrush so I advised her to see her physician. She asked about using gentian violet and I remembered a post a few days ago about it. My question to you is how many times a day should this mom apply it and for how many days? Thanks for the help.
