Dear Lyla,
Star here, (hi) you might already know this but LLL has an excellent series
booklet called Candidiasis and Breastfeeding available which includes a
mamagement flow chart. I find this very useful.I do think that it is
important to individualize your care, such that what you are counselling
for one mom/baby may not be the best or same info for the next mom/baby as
each situation will be unique. The art and science of lactation.
Hope you're doing well,
Warmth,

>Greetings,

>It seems I have a million questions this week!

>I have been working with several moms lately for whom the standard topical

>progressed to Diflucan (Fluconazole) per Jack Newman or Tom Hale (400 MG
>STAT/100 MG BID or 200 MG STAT/100 MG DAILY for 2-3 weeks).
>
>This has brought the same question up enough times that i realize i need to
>ask all of you folks what the variety of approaches is for treating BABY
>when mom switches from GV or GSE plus APNO to fluconazole (and often APNO
>too).  If baby has had 4-7 days of GV already, do you all recommend
>continued treatment of baby while mom is on fluconazole?  If so, with
>what?  Nystatin?  GSE? (many moms  hate using it because of its bitter
>taste).  Treat the baby with oral fluconazole too?
>
>Also, anyone used tincture of Myrrh per Terriana Lowdog?  If so, how long
>can one use it to swab a baby's mouth?  days? weeks?
>
>Thanks in advance for any discussion this generates!
