help - feeding problem

My understanding is that you can continue to breastfeed as you normally
would. I also understand that both mom and baby should be treated at
the same time to avoid passing the yeast back and forth between them.

I've also heard that, and it's usually stated that you should do this even
if the baby has no sign of thrush. However, I've sucessfully treated thrush
for me when each of my children were small, without treating them, and I've
also had a friend who's baby had mouth thrush and she didn't get breast
thrush, so I'm not convinced of the evidence for this, but on the other
hand, it might prevent great suffering in the women/baby pairs who do this
treatment to start it sooner rather than later. I went in to the doctor
saying the baby needed treatment too, but for whatever reason, he wouldn't
prescribe unless the baby had an active problem, so I went away, expecting
to have to back to fight again, but never had to.
