Thrush what works what doesn't my baby been taking a med and it's not working it's something that…

Put coconut oil on your nipples

Nystatin didn't help my son the first time but second time it did poor baby.. I know when my son had it he was so fussy!!

@hocuspocusmama I am giving it to her for 17 days,already and it's not working.

@mimixtmn can she eat with it on them which one ?

@verguinia, yes she can, I used coconut oil for moisturizer, ran out and my daughter ended up with thrush that week. When I bought more and started using again it went away. Get virgin unrefined coconut oil.

@mimixtmn can you send me a picture of it ?

@mommytok, what would you suggest?

If nystatins not working you can use gentin violet. It works great for thrush but will cause babies mouth to be stained purple for awhile

@mom4m can you send a pic

@mom4m thank you I wanna make sure I get the right thing :)

https://www.motherandchildhealth.com/breastfeeding/using-gentian-violet-for-thrush-during-breastfeeding/ theres lots of articles if you google gentian violet for thrush

@mom4m thank you so much !!!

This is the one I use but there are millions of different brands as long as it says virgin or unrefined it’s what you want

@mimixtmn thank you so much I will try all start with one and if it doesn't work go to the next one it has to go away !!! I just put it on my nipples every time I breastfeed ,do I put it on the baby too ?

@verguinia, just put it on ur nipples that’s all I did. It’s likely that the prescription didn’t work because you have it too and are just passing it back to her. The coconut oil should clear you both up.

@mimixtmn ok how many times a day can I put it ?

Nystatin worked for my son when he had thrush.. but I also know that other things can help! Like sounds weird but yogurt.. if you put it on your nipples (since your breastfeeding) and a lil on a q tip rubbed on the baby’s tongue/mouth where the thrush is. Also coconut oil (same thing as the yogurt) helps. All in all it is possible for thrush to go away on its own it just can take a few weeks, if the medicine isn’t working. It took two whole bottles of nystatin for it to finally get rid of my sons thrush. It was so bad he didn’t even want to nurse or take a bottle. Even a paci he would cry 😣

@mama.kay I went through one bottle and going on the second bottle did you wake up in the night to give it to your baby it's every 6 hrs and sometimes I don't hear the alarm in the night :(

@verguinia, yes I did only because if I didn’t the feedings were just worse. Every 6 hours and the doctor told me to let him swallow it because it’s not harmful and it can help if it’s in the back of their throat. Also, he didn’t even start to look better until halfway through the second bottle and then it cleared up very quick! Maybe keep trying it? I was getting fed up at first too cause I thought it wasn’t working 😪 it’s miserable when they’re miserable, I hope she gets better soon 💕💕

@verguinia, as many times as you like 😊

@mama.kay I guess I can start again tomorrow with the second bottle my baby has a green tongue so it's driving me crazy it's Still green after so long :(

@verguinia, oh and probiotic drops!! My doctor suggested that when I was getting fed up. It helps put back in the good bacteria! He gets them once a day ever since. Just keep trying mamas, you got this! Poor baby girl 😪💕

@mama.kay thank you I will start tomorrow again I was worried that I was giving her too much medicine and it wasn't good for her I want to try the other suggestions too but I'm broke right now :(

@verguinia, of course mamas 💕 I feel that! I really do.. I worried the same exact thing and my son was 2m with it. But you’re doing everything right.. it just takes time. Hopefully your princess gets rid of it soon 😪 my son was a whole new little boy when it finally went away.. so much happier!

@mama.kay thank you for talking to me and telling me it took 2 bottle I will not give up and if it's still there after the second bottle I'm gonna try the oil and violet things too

@verguinia, of course mamas! 💕 just don’t give up, it’s seriously such a frustrating situation. Hopefully it clears up with this next bottle and baby can get some relief!

@mama.kay thank you from your writing to God's eyes
