Jeannette asks if there's a connection between Diflucan and lowered supply.
Probably not directly. If it hurts to BF or pump (either nipples or the
shooting pains) because of the ductal thrush, the mom may empty her breast
less often and THAT will reduce supply.  The first mom's increasing fluids
probably helped her bladder but had no effect on supply. In any case,
increased frequency and thoroughness of emptying the breast should bounce
supply back up quickly.  And then both moms need some good education on
avoiding another bout of yeast.

Linda Smith, wishing the old "increase fluids to increase supply" myth would
finally die.
