I had a client with PUPP, post partum. She was miserable. She was on a
course of Prednisone for 10 days. No one said she couldn't breastfeed :)
and her skin is fine now.
But.... she and baby now have a yeast infection. Does the effect of
cortisone on the immune system invite a yeast overgrowth? We couldn't
think of anything else that would bring on a yeast overgrowth at 3 months.
