I believe that Dr. Lawrence voiced a concern regarding this issue in the
1989 edition of her book.
I only have the 94 and 99 ed. here in the office. As a result of that,
La Leche League revised their suggestions for the treatment of thrush.
The BAB states "using clear water" to rinse the nipples after a feeding.
Some practitioners recommend a vinegar rinse of the nipples after
feedings; but not the infants mouth.
