How can I treat thrush in a baby's mouth and on my breast?

Hello Ma'am,

There are several solutions to this type of problem. To begin with, Canesten™ or Monistat cream is usually tried and applied to the breast after each feeding and into the child's mouth about 2-3 times a day. If symptoms are still present 5 days after starting this technique, then a doctor will be consulted to receive a prescription for Nystatin solution.

Refer to page 433 of Better Living for more information on this treatment: https://www.inspq.qc.ca/sites/default/files/mieux-vivre/pdf/mv2019_guide_complet.pdf

Happy evening,
