Thrush is the same as a yeast infection.
An imbalance in your ph levels.
What is she advising you do?

Just put some cream on 3 times a day and
wait for my swab results to come back to
the doctors and theyll probably put me on
some other medication but I dont know

Thrush is a fungal infection, same as
yeast. It depends where you have it as to
the treatment you get. Babies get thrush
in their mouths due to an immature immune
system. Most medication for fungal
infections end in - statin. (but not all)
adults get fungal infectons from taking
anti-biotics (anti-biotics kills all the
bacteria, even the good ones we need).
The term 'thrush' usually refers to the
mouth and genital fungal infectons as
'yeast infectons. Also any disease that
affects the immune system generally can
cause thrush.

Yeast infections/thrush, can blossom
whenever there is a major change in your
body. Antibiotic use can do it as well.
I only ever had one yeast infection and it
was shortly after my daughter was born.
Oh it was bad. I sympathize with anyone
who has one.

Thanks for your help, my midwife wasnt
much use in telling me what it was and I
was clueless. At least I know what im
treating now. Hoe long did you have your
yeast infection for?

Ohhh yes!! When .Kayoni had thrush, it
smelled like she was holding a bread ball
in her mouth!! Yuckkk!! I will never
forget that!!
I took pics of her thrush to show her when
she's older!! Hahaa....And her jaundice.
Her eyes were pure yellow where it was
supposed to be white! She had a high
biliruben count. 19.5!!

We had to put her in the sun. She wasn't
pooping either which was causing her
levels to increase even more.
So we gave her .Dark .Karo syrup and had
to give her a glycerine suppository.
Which she loved the suppository because
she was sooo clogged up!!
She got soo clogged up because I was told
to quit breastfeeding because of her
specific case of .Jaundice. She had
"breastmilk .Jaundice" the hormones in my
breastmilk caused her biliruben levels to
increase. Whcich sucked cuz I really
wanted to breastfeed! My let down never
came because I was constantly on my feet
the first week of her life. I didn't get
any rest.

Yea thank .God all's good. I was starting
to get pissed. If it wasn't one ailment
it was another!! I was starting to feel
like I was doing something wrong!!
But I guess it made me stronger in the
long run. I no longer cry when she gets
shots because for the 1st few weeks of her
life she got blood tests everyday!! Poor
bebe!!
Such beautiful babies shouldn't have to
experience such pain!!
