know that with really chronic thrush, some LCs recommend dumping the milk
that is expressed during an infection w/ thrush. I don't think we really
have an absolute answer on whether to give the milk, and if so, when to give
it after treatment begins. At least, I do not feel I have a clear answer.>>>

We, the Dutch bf organization Borstvoeding Natuurlijk, say: if you pump don't freeze it for
later use. In other words: if you use it now or within a couiple of days, fine. But if this
milk isn't used rigth now, and you'll freeze it for later, this implicates this milk is an
extra, and it could be discarded.

i agree with laurie that milk that migth carry yeast is better than ABM.
