Pumping Post- Thrush?

My LO has had Thrush since birth and will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. We started Nystatin at 2 weeks and it cleared up her oral thrush but not the thrush on my nipples. I have done two doses of diflucan now and have been using Dr. Newman's nipple cream and I think it's finally starting to go away. 

For those of you who have dealt with Thrush, when did you start pumping for your freezer stash again. I have an outing next week that I would like to pump milk for and I don't know when I'm in the clear again. What do you think?

    Dd and I dealt with thrush for several weeks, and the whole time I was pumping and freezing my milk. Both the lactation nurse and the pedi said NOT to throw away all the milk I pumped. They said that it would be fine. Anyway, Dd very rarely gets a bottle of bm, but when she does, it's fine. We haven't gotten thrush again from the frozen milk.

    My OB said to go about pumping/feeding like I normally do. I EP. My LO doesn't have thrush, just me.

    I'm SO sorry to hear that you are going through this!  We just got through thrush on me.  Lena just got over her second round of antibiotics in 4 weeks and I just got over a Z-Pak as well.  Needless to say, her body is wiped out of good bacteria and she got a nasty yeastie diaper rash and it spread to my nipples.  It was suggested that I toss my freezer stash too but I just can't bring myself to do it.  Not sure what to tell you other than I am so sorry!  Sounds like you have a pretty aggressive case of it though and it might be best to get rid of all traces of the yeast.....  :(
