===Thrush and Breastfeeding=== | |||
Because of the increased use of antibiotics in laboring women to reduce the transmission of [[Group B streptococcal infection]] to the infant, thrush has become more prevalent. Symptoms include: | |||
* An oral rash in the infant's mouth | |||
* A diaper rash that does not heal with conventional diaper rash treatments and ointments, | |||
* Burning, painful nipples for the breastfeeding mother. | |||
The rash and pain experienced by the mother can range from severe to mild and may complicate [[breastfeeding]]. Because thrush is assumed to be benign, it may be difficult to obtain treatment for an outbreak in the diaper area of an infant or mother's nipples. Over the counter yeast infection cream, that comes in the 7-day package, can be applied to the skin with good results within 24 - 48 hours. It should be washed off nipples before breastfeeding. | |||

Thrush and Breastfeeding
Because of the increased use of antibiotics in laboring women to reduce the transmission of Group B streptococcal infection to the infant, thrush has become more prevalent. Symptoms include:
- An oral rash in the infant's mouth
- A diaper rash that does not heal with conventional diaper rash treatments and ointments,
- Burning, painful nipples for the breastfeeding mother.
The rash and pain experienced by the mother can range from severe to mild and may complicate breastfeeding. Because thrush is assumed to be benign, it may be difficult to obtain treatment for an outbreak in the diaper area of an infant or mother's nipples. Over the counter yeast infection cream, that comes in the 7-day package, can be applied to the skin with good results within 24 - 48 hours. It should be washed off nipples before breastfeeding.
