At this past ILCA conference I attended a class on repeated infections. The upshot was that it's not recurrent infections; it's the same infection that has not gone away. And it's almost always going to be bacterial, not fungal. Basically, the mom has to go on a long course of antibiotics: six weeks. IMO, she also needs to take lots of probiotics as well, 100 billion organsisms/day at times offset with the antibiotics, or she will end up with a fungal infection. I just went looking through my handouts and couldn't find the study. I think I have to search online for it. It's good for the moms to have something in hand to give to their doctors. I think the other point made was that you want to culture the milk so the antibiotic can be specific to that organism.
