breastfeeding and thrush

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee!

I've been out of the loop since the Spring, but now that I am at home

with a new baby I can get on the computer!

So our little angel was born a week ago in our living room. Her name

is Jane and she's a good baby.

I'm breastfeeding and one side is super sore and is a shooting pain

when she first starts to nurse, then it is just sensitive after that.

Her little tongue is always white. Does this mean she has thrush?

I am so ready to get back on the candida diet. While pregnant I

didn't have any problems with dairy, sugar or wheat so of course I

indulged, now I'm paying for it. I had some chocolate the other day

and now my rash is back. It's amazing how those pregnancy hormones

can mask all the symptoms of candida. I had a terrific pregnancy, no

complaints. I worked right up til she was born and thank goodness for

Hypnobirthing. No pain meds and I had her in 4.5 hours. It was a joy

to have her at home. Highly recommended. I know we are very lucky

that things went so well.

Anyway, any advice is appreciated. I looked through the other emails

and so far it looks like I need to do coconut oil with her and the

nipples. What about oil of oregano? I thought it was bad for

pregnant women, but what about breastfeeding?

Thanks

==>Kim, it is great to hear from you. Congratulations on the birth

of your little angel! I'm so very happy for you.

==>Sounds like you have some kind of disturbance in one side. I am

reluctant to call it an infection because it scares people. I

suggest you treat that side, and in the meantime pump out your milk

so production doesn't slow down. In the meantime the other breast

will increase production so your baby will get enough milk. I had

that with my first daughter, but I took tetracycline antibiotics for

it which was horrible for my health.

==>What you want to do is to help your body deal with the

disturbance, by applying mustard plasters to your breast (you can

find many goods ones on the internet), and in between plasters rub

coconut oil mixed with about 1/3rd garlic oil into it (particularly

into the nipple) and apply wet heat on top to help the breast absorb

it; other mothers might also have some recommendations for you.

==>Wow! That's wonderful you had such a good pregnancy and birth!

Very well done Kim!

==>Oil of oregano is not recommended for breastfeeding moms, and

neither is clove oil, but you can use garlic. I've made my own

garlic infused oil by crushing it, mincing it, and putting it in a

dropper bottle with coconut oil. Unfortunately it takes awhile to

make it - I think there there is a recipe in our Recipe Folder.

==>Treat your baby's thrush with coconut oil; also see the Folder "
