this really isn't as TMI as it sounds...
I've noticed a whole heap of little red bumps appear on my right breast in the last few days and wondered if it could be a form of thrush?? They're mainly around the nipple area (south side only) but also spreading onto the main part of the breast, covering an area about the size of a coffee cup... I can't see any white spots in Josh's mouth, but it is a little itchy and that nipple is getting quite sore - like when you first start feeding. Do you think it's okay to keep feeding off that side? I don't want to go putting random creams on it that Josh might end up digesting  ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

Yes it does definitely sound like thrush! And yes definitely do keep feeding off that side.

Yeah what weegee said, sounds like thrush and keep feeding.
I got thrush quite bad on my nipples when DD was newborn, she had it in her mouth, I used that gel stuff in her mouth and I used micreme on my nipples, but washed my nipples before feeding, and that cleared it up really well. It was excruciatingly painful to feed but only lasted a wee while! ------------- |

Sounds like thrush! I didn't want Blake ingesting anything either so I used 'grapefruit seed extract' on my nipples and his mouth. I also tried a baking soda mixture. We managed to get rid of it :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

thanks guys  i managed to get some stuff from my mw so will give that a try - but in the meantime have been wiping down with a vinegar/tea tree/water mix after feeds and that seems to be helping too... ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">
