white spots
Moving right along . . . DS (2 months) has a few white dots inside of
his lower lip. Looks almost like stuck-on spit up. They do scrape off with persistence. I expected patches with thrush, but these spots are small. My end of things isn't very helpful, or maybe it is? BF has been not painful but uncomfortable on the left side since about 3 weeks after he was born. Often fine, but sometimes, especially when it had been a long time since he nursed, quite uncomfortable. Ok, painful. I think it is painful, I've just been too stoic about it. I thought then, 5 weeks ago or so, that it might be thrush deep in a duct. Now he has white spots (for the past 3 days or so), and both breasts . . it feels like my nipples are asleep, very tingly with every suck. Uncomfortable. Any ideas? Are these two things related? Thanks so much, Hannah |

It certainly could be thrush. Kellymom has a page of resources: http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/...resources.html When I had thrush my nipples were pink, kind of shiny and I had terrible pain, especially during latch on. I used Gentian violet to clear it up. DD never got white spots in her mouth so I don't know what those look like. The white spots would be enough for me to see my pediatrician, if confirmed they can give the baby something and maybe you too (or I'm sure your doctor would perscribe if the baby does have it). Good luck! Mary |

Thanks so much, Hannah Sounds a lot like thrush even if the spots are small. The fact that they don't scrape off easily sounds like thrush. We used an oral gel for baby which I smeared all over my nipples afterwards. The sensation you describe in your nipples sounds like what my nipples felt like when I had thrush. Judy |
