oral thrush ??

Lauz_1601 · Oct 12th, 2008, 13:27 PM

has anyones babiy ha doral thrush ? I think Kaitlin might have it..........

Today I was wondering why she is fussing so much when feeding, she has been feeding little and often, when she usually has a good feed and goes 3 hours, but today she would cry for a feed then only feed for a few minutes. She has been really unsettled and not a happy bunny......then I noticed her tongue is white, I dont think its from her milk as it was a good while after her feed and its been there all day, she has also been coughing and gagging.

Im going to take her the docs tomorow, but does it sound like oral thrush ? xxx

If you wipe the white parts and it doesnt come away - it is probably thrush

As the PP said, if you notice plentiful tiny white specs in your baby's mouth, and you try and wipe them away, yet it doesn't go away--then its thrush. Your doctor will probably prescribe you an antifungal like Nystatin. it's easily curable, but make sure that you give your child all of the medicine...it will come back unless fully cured!

Are u bf'ing? Savannah has thrush and given it to me, makes bf'ing so painful! Haven't noticed that she has a problem with it

Jayce had oral thrush and sounds exactly like what you are describing. He would cry for feeds but the thrush made it so uncomfortable to suck... and he had a hard time latching to his bottle. Also what the other girls said if the white on his cheeks doesnt wipe away, and the white on his tongue stays for more than 1/2 and hour after a feed then its thrush. Make sure that if your breastfeeding that you treat yourself aswell, or you will just pass it back and forth and it is a bitch to get rid of.

I am breastfeeding, but my nipples seem ok, they aren't sore or anything. And I cant see anything on the inside of her cheeks, its just her tongue, but it is there all the time, even when she slept 6 hours last night it was still there

will make a docs apt now, thanks girls xx

Grab some daktarin and rub it on ur nipples before an after each feed, it's safe for bub. An some Nilstat drops for bub.

U don't need a prescription darl, just ask the chemist. Hope it gets sorted

Oh, and make sure u sterilise anything that comes into contact with ur nipples or bubs mouth- dummies, bottles etc
