One of our LC's received a call today from a mom who has persistant thrush.
I searched the archives and found Pat Gima's thrush plan, which we will give
a try! The mom had two questions:
1. Does pumping and keeping the baby off the nipple for a few days help the
nipple to heal? She is experiencing pain with nursing.
2. Would freezing the milk kill the yeast fungus?
Two good questions and I want to give as good an answer!! Thanks in advance!
