Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Posted August 22, 2000 Greetings, Tea tree is indeed a very good antiseptic and can be used on the skin full-strength but is VERY strong and I would be hesitant to give it to baby (and/or to use it on nipples since baby will ingest it). Here's a URL that gives detailed instructions on using gentian violet: http://www.bflrc.com/newman/breastfeeding/gentviol.htm It seems to take a long time to load (I think their server must be slow since I have cable internet access and IT isn't slow!) so be patient. Good luck! BTW, I was very lucky and didn't get thrush during my breastfeeding of my two children til about 2 years of age. Just wanted you breastfeeding-wannabe's not to get scared away from it!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2000 Report Posted August 22, 2000 hahahaha! That happens when I answer messages while half asleep. I thought of a different kind of yeast infection. -lol- I never had had one with my two children. Sorry, for this kind of yeast infection I would be hestitant to tea tree oil also, even though it's my personal 'cure all'.
