I have heard recently many people talking about how common Thrush is when breastfeeding.
I'm not sure if I have it or not, so wondered if anyone could help me out.
I do keep getting the odd shooting pains through my boobs through to my nipples - but not substantial.
I understand that there are white patches in the babies mouth if they are infected - but this is hard to tell as it's not easy looking in Iestyn's mouth and sometimes I think I see his tongue looks white and around the edges of his gums and then other times I think it's just where the lights caught on the saliva.
If I have got it and don't realise - what are the problems if it's not treated.
Sorry for my naievity - If I manage to get to the B/F group on Tuesday I will ask the midwives and health visitors there - but not sure I'll make it this week as Iestyn has his test for CF on Tuesday morning.
Love,
Sue xxxxxxxx
P.S. Am I more like to have thrush in the breasts as I've just had thrush down below, following a course of antibiotics?
