if you have to ... BF yeast infection

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

If you have excruciating pain breast feeding, or you know someone who

is (not bleeding like Una, but internally), there might be a yeast

infection. My friend had that a few times. She had to take nasty

drugs to get rid of it, and it was all very stressful and horrible,

but she was able to successfully breast feed for a year. I would have

done a yeast-free/sugar-free diet, but we all have to make our own

decisions. It was difficult to diagnose, so I just wanted to throw

that out there as something to watch out for.
