Talk to me about thrush

I am pretty sure DD has thrush...She has white residue on her tongue and cheeks.

Is this an emergency, should I go to the hospital or is it ok to wait to call the pedi tomorrow morning?

TIA

    Definitely not an emergency.  Give a call to the pedi in the morning.

    It's OK to wait.  DS is being treated for thrush right now.

    I just learned of a probiotic for babies called "baby gaia" (must be kept in fridge). It is 5 drops per day and tastes fine. I am also taking probiotics, odourless garlic and grapefruitseed without any discomfort with baby. I don't think it will cure it, but may help ward off re-infection next time. I also keep vinegar by my washing machine and use a cup full with all our clothes. doesn't make them smell or anything. Make sure you get treated with baby. It is no use just getting the baby treated...

    We are both taking probiatics too. (She is taking FloraBaby, b/c I could not find BioGaia anywhere here)

    Thanks for the info though.  And thanks for putting my mind at ease.  I will call tomorrow.

    My mom, a pedi, told us to swab LO's mouth with a baby qtip with distilled or nursery water to prevent thrush.  The baby rendition of brushing teeth.
