expose your breasts to sunlight for several minutes/day and hang your
nursing bras in the sun after washing in hot water. I'm allergic to
anti-fungals and unfortunately don't have the option of resorting to
Diflucan. When my baby and I had thrush, I used gentian violet
religiously (baby looked hilarious with a blue mouth for quite a
while), stood in sunlight as much as possible (I'm fairly certain the
neighbors got an eyeful, but it was well worth it). Boric acid is
also a good treatment for killing yeast and is the treatment I use for
gynecological yeast infections, BUT I have no idea about its safety
for your baby. I wonder if you could get boric acid tablets, mix the
contents with water to form a paste, and apply that to your breasts
between nursing? If you washed well before you nursed it might be
alright (definitely check that out before trying it to make sure it
won't hurt your baby).
Feeling for you...
