Usually a lurker but now I have a question. I gave birth to my second son on
March 30th at home 9lbs 8 oz 22 inches long.  Nursing is going well as far
as latch and what not.  My 2 1/2 year old nurses as well.  My nipples have
been itchy and I have been watching baby for thrush.  Constant spitter so
his tongue is usually white.  However this morning I noticed white patches
on his gums.  Plan on doing gentian violet with him.  As well as treating
myself and laundry ect.  How should I treat my nursing toddler?  I don't
really want questions about purple lips on him ect.  The whole world doesn't
need to know I am tandem nursing.  And I have not seen patches on his mouth.

Oh and I never had thrush with first one.  This is my first time with thrush.
