What Causes Breast Infection And Vagina;l Thrush In Baby?
One month old baby girl, got a breast infection, had to have surgery as it was very swollen and infected, now is under anti-biotics and got vaginal thrush! I am most worried for all this on such a small baby.

Hi,
It could be because of poor hand hygiene while handling the baby which is the most common cause for such a scenario in this age group.
The only other possibility is a primary immunodeficiency like severe combined immunodeficiency. I suggest you discuss all this with her pediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
