Thrush/yeast on nipples

Anyone had thrush or yeast on nipples?? What were y'all symptoms and what did you do?

I had thrush back around 3/4 weeks post partum. You will have pain during let down and sometimes during feed and usually afterwards. Your nipples also may bright pink. If you have thrush likely your baby does too and will have white patches in their mouth and white coating on their tongue. Sometimes they may have a yeast diaper rash that is bumpy and doesn't improve with regular diaper rash cream. Call your OB and pedi if you suspect thrush because it will only go away when treated properly.

Thanks!! I don't see anything with the baby but I'm exclusively pumping not sure if she could get it like that.

FWIW I was EP too and baby still got it, it will be in the milk. If you are confirmed to have it make sure to sterilize everything everyday while you are treating yourself/baby.

I had ductal thrush. I took diflucan for 30 days and it didn't clear. I used diluted grapefruit seed extract on my nipples every couple hours and it cleared in days.

Yep, I used daktarin oral gel on my nipples 4x a day and gave LO nystatin drops 4x a day.
we just had a burning pain worse at latch lasting through the whole feed, and he had the white patches in his mouth.

eta: treated LO for 7 days and myself for 14

I have pain and burning but I'm not sure if it has to do with my areola rubbing on the flange no matter what size I use some of my areola gets pulled into the tunnel and the 30 makes my areola puffy when I'm done where the areola is pulled in. I'm so scared I'm going to mess my nipples up
