Breastfeeding and Diflucan for Thrush Treatment
Breastfeeding and Diflucan treatments are quite common among breastfeeding moms for thrush treatment. While Diflucan (also called fluconazole) does appear in breast milk, that is exactly where we want it. There have been no reported complications to babies who were exposed to Diflucan in the breast milk. Although some doctors may tell mothers they must stop breastfeeding if they are taking Diflucan, there is really no support for that advice. According to recognized breastfeeding expert, Dr. Jack Newman, the benefits of breastfeeding probably outweigh any negative side effects.
Avoid Future Yeast InfectionsMy oldest daughter would get an ear infection and get treated by an antibiotic. As soon as she took the antibiotic she would get a yeast infection on her bottom and get thrush. Then she would give it to me. By the time we got rid of the yeast, she repeated the cycle!So to avoid future yeast infections, I introduced plain yogurt to her and we both ate it daily. The active cultures in the yogurt seemed to really cut down on future infections.
