You will have so many options to try once you've read this post; yet don't get overwhelmed. Each person will find what works for them. Yeast a.k.a. thrush is something you DO NOT want to "wait to see" or it could last months! Start at least 1 thing on this list TODAY!!
Mixed opinions on this one, so up to you but you will be doing so many other things it will be nice to have 1 less thing to think about- STOP using lanolin.
COCONUT OIL
Take a spoonful of high quality Coconut oil by mouth w/every meal!! Then rub it on nipple topically, alternating with no sugar, organic yogurt with live cultures. Be sure you have clean hands or use different jar for nipples since yeast is highly contagious! If you don't notice a difference in a few days up doses or switch to a different natural remedy. Advice from other moms They have found Vit E on nipples to be helpful.Reduce carbs & sugar, for best results NO sugar! I can not stress enough how important good nutrition is or it will just keep coming back =(
dried fruit, trail mix, store bought pasta sauce, protein & granola bars, packaged hot & cold cereals...
So it's not too overwhelming for now you can still do brown rice & sweet potatoes.
Grapefruit SEED extract (GSE)
Must be from the seed! Consider buying liquid AND capsule form. Not to scare you- I still recommend using GSE but read over die off symptoms then watch LO for a rash etc. If baby gets a rash YOU cut back on the amount of GSE capsules you are taking orally. Yet don't stop everything just cut back on some supplements while continuing diet.You'd take the capsules, then the liquid GSE would go on nipples & in baby's mouth.
Probiotics for MOM and BABY
Baby probiotics
If mom has IBS or GI issues... Or if you find it is causing gas in mom &/or baby try diary free probiotics.
