| Caprece keeps getting thrush, if its not in her mouth it seems its on her bum. Is there anything I can do to try and prevent her getting it? |

| So are you being treated at the same time as Caprece? If not then you'll just be passing it straight back to her. (But I assume you know that anyway) |

Oh I'm pleased you've posted this thread cause Brenna has it on her bum area ATM and I don't know much about it... the doc has given me some cream which I'm using but do I need to be careful with washing her clothes?

Yeah i'm using a cream as well. It does go away for a few days and then seems to be back.
Thrush is when normal bacteria dies down a bit so normal fungi or something gets overrun (not the best description but you get the idea) so washing clothes won't really make much difference. For her bum I was told to let her have heaps of nappy free time and then put the thrush cream on and leave it for 5 or so minutes and then put barrier cream over top. |

Mercedes has it on her butt atm coz she was on antibiotics last week for her ears, I'm using cream on it but I also chuck some Dettol fresh in the wash to kill any bacteria lurking on her nappies etc. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
