Thrush!!


Krew and I have thrush. It is common in nursing, it is fungal infection, kinda like a yeast infection. Anyways, it HURTS to nurse and luckily Krew is not being effected by it. However, it was recommend that the fastest way to get rid of it was this stuff called Gentian Violet. I am to put it on my breast then when he nurses he gets some in his mouth where his white patches are. What she didn't tell me is that it turns my son purple! Its a dye so he will be purple for a couple of days. Oh well, we have started might as well keep going. Whatever it takes to get this gone.
