[quote=Erica]Hey there
Let me know if you want me to pick up some gentian violet for you! they sell it at the pharmacy in town..I'm headed there today as I think Ellery & I have the beginning stages of it. QUOTE]
1 bottle is likly enough for the two of you for a lifetime.
I did forget we always did the probiotics too, acidophalis and lactinix pills (also have to ask for them but no prescription needed) I took the probiotics and just assumed enough through nursing got to my son.
My grandmother reciently due to some serious surgical complications had a SERIOUS neither region yeast infection... not just vaginal but bottom and all the folds inbetween. Nystatan never touched it for MONTHS. This was while she was admitted to the hospital and nurses dried the area and did all the medical stuff and still never touched it.
1 application of gention violet knocked it out she did also start using a tea tree oil wash on her bottom and cloth pads instead of depends... are you using breast pads with PUL in them or plastic? switch to breastpads that are all cotton too
OOOOOH even better go topless, sun and air are some of the worst enemies of nipple thrush.
I would totally add the GSE to my regiment if I didnt already have the perfect thrush kit set up.
Just an FYI gention violet stains, your baby with have a purple mouth and your nips will be discolored for a day or so. Your babies drool will also stain so prepare. I personally found that Mama Salena's purple color matches gention violet perfectly so you can always send her anything that gets a stain and revamp it.
