Just have to add a BIG AMEN to your post Pat! This continues to be an on
going problem that I see exactly as you describe it. It takes forever to get
diflucan at a correct dosage and getting both treated too. I feel so bad
that moms suffer so long fighting to get proper treatment.

mom to 4 breastfed boys--Congratualtions on your little girl Melanie Young
thank you for sharing, it gives me hope that maybe one day I will have a
girl too. :-)

<<<Unfortunately it is also a classic case.  If she had gotten the proper
dose
early on the whole thing would have probably swiftly resolved :-(  I have
found giving mom diflucan (good dose) and baby Nystatin in early days seems
to work well, if GV doesn't work first.

To just give baby Nystatin and have mom use Nystatin cream doesn't  work.
And this mom was certainly underdosed with diflucan early on (150 then 50
was a waste of time and money!).  I think this messing around with poor
dosing makes the yeast resistant.  I subscribe to the hit it hard in the
first place school of thought, if after 3 days of GV there is no relief.

Sorry to be so put out this early in am, but good grief, we even give
diflucan to premies when they need it.  Pat in SNJ>>>
