Question about baby taking Antibiotic
I found a bit of what appears to be mucous in Morgan's diaper and in her
vaginal area. Could the antibiotics have given her a yeast infection as they sometimes do to us? ~Carol Ann Oh, for those interested, I took Robuttusin and feel AWESOME now! |

It's possible, but if she has a respiratory tract infection it could just be mucus that she has swallowed. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "In Melbourne there is plenty of vigour and eagerness, but there is nothing worth being eager or vigorous about."

Certainly could, but mucous isn't a symptom of yeast infections. The discharge with yeast infections should be more white cottage-cheesy. The skin of her vagina would also likely look somewhat angry-red. (Of course now someone will post saying their experience was totally different, but generally the above is true.)

Certainly they could, but mucous sounds less like yeast and more like the GI upset that is also common with antibiotics (mucous is often the only way to tell the difference between normal EBF poop and diarrhea). -- tristyn www.tristyn.net |

Update on Morgan's Sickness was Question about baby taking Antibiotic
I found a bit of what appears to be mucous in Morgan's diaper and in her
vaginal area. Could the antibiotics have given her a yeast infection as they sometimes do to us? It's possible, but if she has a respiratory tract infection it could just be mucus that she has swallowed. Okay, I took her to after hours pediatric center and saw a wonderful doctor from the same pediatric center that I normally take Morgan too. First of all, I want to say that I met another mother in the waiting room who also cannot 'stand' the doctor I took Morgan to last week who gave me such erroneous information about breastfeeding. She too switched doctors after her first meeting. The doctor we saw today said that I should be commended for bf'ing for as long as I have b/c this could be the single reason why Morgan has not had ANY other ear infections. She said to make it 21 months and never have this type (or any other major) illness was most probably due to bf'ing. She also said that since I'm sick, my body is creating antibodies which will actually help Morgan. So, she encouraged me to continue to do so. Morgan is suffering from severe ear infections in both ears. She bumped us up to a higher strength antibiotic and told me to continue to hydrate her and not to worry so much about the limited eating. So, we shall hope that this makes a difference. If not, she'll have to have stronger antibiotics (which will cause her to have even more diarreah). Thank you all for your advice!! I bought my mother some Ensure in hopes that she would consume ANYTHING to help get her strength up. She had to feel mighty bad to actually close her business. I'm so glad she did. We can start fresh tomorrow. Also, this pushed her to FINALLY agree to allow someone else to work in the mornings so she didn't have to work open and then close. Happy New Year! Carol Ann |

Mucous doesn't sound like it. JennP. |
