Ouch, ouch, ouch! If you haven't had thrush along with your baby than hooray for you because this is horrible. I didn't even realize Amelia had it until my nipples were cracked and hurting so bad I didn't want her to nurse. She's been teething so I was blaming all that on her biting me every chance she got. Unfortunately after a good examine of her mouth and realizing that I'm not going to be cracking a bleeding like this from a few bites - we now know we have thrush. This weekend has been quite excruciating with the small but monthly breast infection flaring up again and my baby girl nursing as often as she does. I decided I could suck it up until after the weekend to get into the Doctor. So we're headed in there for 3:30pm to hopefully get some relief - well for me to get some relief, Amelia acts like nothing is bothering her. While we're there we're going to see what he thinks about Amelia's sensitive skin and her poor face that just doesn't stay cleared up for long; even after ditching the pacifiers. I talked to my mom and I'm thinking about taking some sort of immunity booster - with these frequent breast infections and we seem to be catching everything and anything I don't think it'd hurt. I'm just ready to be healthy for more than a month at a time. Wish me luck because I'm sure the immunization thing will get brought up and other things.
PS. I have so many things I want to post about with pictures - the furniture & rooms, two prizes I won, and more.

Good luck today! Hopefully the Dr. can fix you up asap. :)
Oh no. Frick had it, but I never got it. That was not fun. I remember it all too well. Good luck with that! I hope things turn out Ok at the doctor and you are respected for your decisions on immunizations. Let us know how it all turns out. Hang in there!
We had thrush, Annalivia and I, when she was nursing. It was SO hard to get rid of. Ridiculous, really. It never completely went away until she weaned herself.
You know -- that rash might actually be thrush! Annalivia got a little spot on her chin that would just randomly reappear. Maybe the meds will clear it up, too.
Good luck.
You do have my sympathies!
It stinks, doesn't it?
I sure hope you're better soon!
I wish I had some cure for you.
((hugs))
Oh bummer! I have never experienced thrush (yet) but have had to deal with many reoccurences of mastitis. So if it's 1/2 that miserable, I am so so sorry. Remember to offer it up and do some Poor Souls some good if you have to suffer anyway. Maybe the rash on her face is from the thrush too and the medicine can clear it up. Hope all goes well!
Oh look, I feel lame. Somebody already said that about maybe the rash is thrush. And here I thought I was so clever! ha ha!
Ouch! I've never had to deal with this but I've heard how painful it can be. I did read on Kellymom that if you go on antibiotics (or your little one does) that adding a probiotic to your diet works great. It can either be in yogurt, or you can buy the pills.
I take one a couple times a day just to keep everything in balance.
Oh, and I'm so glad to be able to read all of these stories here too! Thanks for sharing the link.
