Yes you do need to see a doctor for it, because if it is thrush Kaitlin will need to be treated with a prescription, usually they use nystatin (sp?) plus you should never treat babies for anything without it being diagnosed. As for the nipple thing, when Jayce had it I had it aswell but didnt think I did, cause My breasts felt no different, no pain or itchyness at all, but we passed it back and forth for a good month before my doctor decided to treat me with diflucan and it went away within a day. If it is thrush it is MUCH easier to treat and get rid of if you catch it sooner rather than later. Good luck.

Yeah, my son had thrush when he was like 10.5 months old (his one and only time), and it never got on my nipples at all. It was weird! I thought it was really easily spreadable!

Thanks hun, Iv been prescribed those drops, but nothing for me.....I had a bit of a shooting pain in my left breast last night, but it might just have been becuase they were quite full, so I'll just hope the drops clear it up and we dont pass it back and forth! I think we caught it early as it was jsut on her tongue nowhere else in her mouth, so figners crossed.

It must be different over there then... cause here we need a prescription for it... but nilstat is the same as nystatin.
