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
