Using gentian violet in baby orally

[Guest guest]

Keep in mind that you should only use gentian violet

orally, in baby's mouth, three times a day, for no

longer than two days. Also, a little dab goes a

loooooooooong way. Another thing you can try, is

dissolve 1T of baking soda, in a cup of water, and

swab baby's mouth after every nursing, for a few days.

Use a clean swab every time, and you'll have to make

a new solution daily. A third remedy, is to use

vinegar on your nipples. You may want to dilute it,

as it CAN burn ALOT!! Lastly, while fighting it, cut

out as much diary, starches, and sweets/sugars as you

can, and get a GOOD probiotic (keep this in the

freezer, as heat kills the probiotic bacteria). A

good one is Nature's Sunshine Flora Force...it has

both acidophilus and bifidous. Good stuff Maynard!!
