Oral thrush-helppp
I think I’ve caught baby and I in early stages of oral thrush. After seeing so many negative experiences with nystatin, I’m really hesitant to use it on her, Especially with a baby with tummy discomfort already. The doc even said she would advise to wait and see except for the fact that I’m having some burning/stinging. I’m waiting on a call back from my OB regarding my own treatment. Anyone go through this and it go away on its own? Or what did you use? Good/bad nystatin experiences? Coconut oil? Any insight is much appreciated.

I’ve never had a baby with oral thrush, but I had it BAD in my first pregnancy, and Nyastatin was a LIFESAVER! It took my oral thrush away within about 2-3 days! And after literally just 1 use it was already disappearing. 10/10 recommend for yourself, but like I said I’ve never had to use it on a baby!
I used nystan for a full week just using the syringe and yesterday my health visitor prescribed me a second round of nystan for another week however, she said use a clean wash finger around the baby mouth. I did that and I’ve woken up today and her month is almost completely cleared up just from me using my finger to spead the medicine

We used nystatin, she didn’t seem to have any issues. It actually helped me too! Since I bf. My doctor prescribed me an ointment for myself which didn’t help. Now I can’t bf and I’m waiting on something else.
