Thrush
This is a fungal infection which can appear on the breasts and in the baby’s mouth
as well as in their genitals. You may notice white spots on your breasts and in the
baby’s mouth, and your breasts may become flaky and very itchy. You may experience
soreness and pain deep in the breast. It often appears after a course of antibiotics and
can spread from mother to baby via breastfeeding
Remedies
- Your doctor will give you an antifungal cream
- You should ensure that your baby is treated at the same time as you to reduce the risk
of him passing the infection back
