I have a mother who does not like using prescription meds and prefers natural remedies/herbs. Currently, the infant has oral thrush and while the mom has agreed to use Nystatin the dr prescribed, she is also giving the 5mo infant probiotics (not sure the brand) via her finger and swiping the mouth with it before and after nursing. She has contacted me asking if she can "overdose" the infant on probiotics. The infant's bowels smell sweeter (even before starting Nystatin), are more "liquidy" (less curds/formed), and seems to be developing a diaper rash that was not there yesterday. Curious if this is the Probiotic or maybe even possibly the dieing of the yeast causing these side effects...although I wouldn't know why it would smell sweet previous to the Nystatin?

The mom also just began Diflucan yesterday evening for yeast of the breast and I know Diflucan can cause stomach upset in the mom. Still unsure of the sweet smell?

Thanks for the help.
Trish
