Suggest Remedy For Oral Thrush In An Infant

My baby has thrush that is getting worse! She was 10 weeks premature, after she turned 1 month old I was treated with antibiotic (macrobid) for a urinary tract infection. She is has been breastfed and now I need to know what I can do to get rid of yeast in both of us for good. Nystatin is not working!

Hello. Thanks for your query. As a Breastfeeding Specialist I want to tell you that Nystatin is the right choice for you and for your baby. But in order to treat the thrush you have to be treated both with nystatin. You have to apply nystatin cream on you nipples twice a day, because yeast infections moves from mother to baby and from baby to mother if you are not treated both in the same time. Also you should keep good hygiene for your breast by changing your bras once a day and baby's clothes every time you could .
