Lisa, you ask: "Would it be fesible to use Lotriman AF on the nipples of the mother? Or even to use Myconicozol (sp?), the same thing that is used for yeast infections in the private areas." In the UK Miconazole can be bought over the counter (Daktarin) and is the usual cream of choice for women with thrush ON the nipples. It also comes in a gel form which is what babies are prescribed/given so that they can be treated at the same time as their mothers. Magda Sachs Breastfeeding Supporter The Breastfeeding Network, UK
