Thing is, if it's in your milk ducts the cream on the nipples isn't going to do much! I was at the end of my tether and bfing support worker at local support group saved my life! She advised that I use the nystatin on my nipples as it doesn't need washed off before feeding. She also advised that I put it on before and after every feed and that rather than trying to get the full dose into baby 3 times per day to just keep rubbing a little rouind his mouth on a regular basis Other things you need to do is soak bras in milton before washing and steam iron cups as thrush can remain in the fabric, esp if you're washing bras with baby stuff so on a low heat.
I was also told to express enough to do 48hrs and take an oral thrush treatment to sort out the milk ducts Expressed milk will of course still have the thrush in it but with the nystatin you can prevent it getting as far as back into the milk ducts while to continue to clear up the infeaction.
You need to continue to treat both of you for at least a week after all symptoms have gone and after that it's a good idea to rinse nipples in a weak solution of vinegar and water regularly.
The vinegar prevents fungus from growing This time with DD2 I went straight to rinsing nipples with the vinegar solution as a preventative measure as I just coudn't face going through that again Sorry that's sooooo long winded but hope some of it is helpful to someone Re the expressing not ok but bfing is thing I'd be with Lisa on that My sister did and it took months to cure. After nursing my sister put it on her nipples, right before nursing she would wipe them down, to get any cream off of them that may not have soaked in.
I would think that by the time you nurse the majority of the cream would be absorbed into your skin. If you are super paranoid about it, you could always wipe off your nipples prior to nursing That is what his Pedi said, if this does not workt they are going to have to try somethign stronger but he wants that as a last resort cause i guess that stuff is REALLY strong.
You are giving him Nystatin He will be fine, unless of course you want to battle thrush until you quit nursing. I think it's really weird that they didn't treat you as soon as they started treating your son. Of course, different people react better to different medicines, so you may have to try more than one. Check with your health care professional about the medications listed and other options.
After treatment for thrush begins, the symptoms may not disappear quickly. If the pain continues, offer your baby short, frequent feedings, beginning on the least painful breast.
Some mothers use crushed ice to reduce pain before starting to nurse. Rinse your nipples with clean water and let them air dry after each feeding. If you find that applying cold to your nipples or air drying increases the pain, investigate whether the discomfort you are experiencing is related to nipple vasospasm. Taking mild over-the-counter pain medication whatever you find effective for a headache can also be useful.
Wash your hands with soap and water very frequently during the treatment period — especially after nursing, diaper changes, and handling your breasts. Dry with a clean towel, or even paper towels during the treatment period. Pumping your breasts and offering baby milk by a small cup may be another alternative, especially while you have cracked nipples. Just make sure you are sterilizing pump parts and feeding utensils after each use.
It is unclear whether the milk you pump during a thrush outbreak can be frozen and fed to your baby in the future as freezing does not kill yeast. Indicate on the bags whether they were pumped during thrush treatment and use if no alternatives are available or if you determine that you did not experience thrush in the first place. Yeast infections take some time to treat and heal. There is a section on treatment for other causes of sore nipples in this post. Nonetheless, experience tells us that yeast infections on other parts of the body can often be addressed without these extra steps.
