I swear I feel like a terrible ass mother. So my son had an ear infection and when he finished the antibiotic, he started getting thrush. His doctor gave me the medicine and I boiled everything and tried to sanitize everything the best way I could to try to prevent his twin from getting it and now they both have it. It really bothers me. I know it has to be uncomfortable for them and it’s hard as hell to get rid of it because they’re in the stage where they put everything in their mouth. EVERYTHING. And no I don’t let them share bottles, pacifiers, etc: but they share toys which is probably even worse🤦🏽♀️
You aren't a bad mom. Thrush is rough. At least you are doing everything you can and are on top of it. My bean was miserable when he had it and I felt crappy too but its not your fault. Just keep doing your best. Also add a teaspoon of bleach to the sanitize water. I know its scary when it comes to nipples and stuff but its fine a tsp per gallon and helps kill it. Just rinse and let everything dry completely before giving it to them again. Make sure to treat your nipples too if you are nursing.
It happens. Sometimes it’s unpreventable.
