Well, crap.
And that couldn't hurt.
How was the first week back at work?
Songbird: It went pretty well, except I think now I have a blocked duct to boot. SIGH.
Another book rec - The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers. Dr. Jack Newman. You can also google him, he has a lot of stuff published for free online. He has some special cream for thrush and lots of ideas on how to handle problems.
I got blocked ducts a lot, but they would usually go away if I pushed on the part that hurt while pumping or better, while baby was nursing. Painful, but usually cleared the problem.
I have had chronic repeated thrush with all three kids.
Best thing I've ever used was grapefruit seed extract, oral drops. It got rid of the thrush completely with no side effects except the bad taste and if you mix the liquid drops with sugar or swallow it down with very sweet juice it helps.
Doesn't get rid of it in the baby, but it's so insanely effective, I didn't need to. I thought it was ridiculous because it was all-natural, but I swear it's better than diflucan.
