[quote=Anonymous]My doctor saw me yesterday and prescribed nystatin cream to treat a yeast infection in my breast. I asked if my baby needed treatment too. She said to try out the cream on me first and see if it works before going ahead and treating baby as well. I've never had a yeast infection before and am now reading up on it online and her approach seems odd. It seems like the standard approach is to treat both mom and child. I'm not sure if she's taking this approach because my baby is a bit older (15 mo.) and nurses less frequently? Has anyone had luck just treating themselves for a yeast infection? Baby shows no visible signs in mouth. gums, etc... and does not appear to be having any pain or trouble nursing. Also, how long should it take before my breast starts to feel better? Thanks in advance for any advice on this.[/quote]
