Thrush Help
Any of you moms out there had to deal with thrush before? Kaylie was put on Nystatin suspension for it, and so of course I'm having to use it too.....my friend gave me the wise counsel of another med to use if this antibiotic didn't work. I'm curious what YOU have used or if you know of someone who has had this problem and what they've used.
Help, Moms out there, or anyone with thrush knowledge!

I'm not surprised that she has thrush. If she has been on a lot of antibiotics, that is VERY common. It's basically a yeast infection of the mouth. I'd give her lots of yogurt or keifer. Anything to get acidophilus (i.e. the "good" bacteria) back in her system. Avoid sugary foods as that feeds the yeast. I know that there's other things that can be done, but that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.
Thanks, Heidi. Someone else told me yogurt, and I've been giving her half a yogurt a day. I found out a full one makes her runny!
