thats what they told us too. i was really upset coz i had it the same tme as seth and i was worried id given it to him. but he's always putting stuff in his mouth that isnt sterilised so probably isnt too far from the truth! pleased its getting better

Glad it's starting to get better. Has she had any antibiotics recently? We all have a certain amount of the fungus that causes thrush (sounds gross, I know) in our intestines anyway, along with all the bacteria...and they kind of keep each other under control....if you have antibiotics to treat an infection, they also kill off the 'good' bacteria in your gut, which allows the thrush to multiply and can sometimes result in an infection (steroid treatments can lead to thrush too) x
