Nipple Thrush - How to Relieve the Pain and Discomfort of Nipples Thrush

Taking care of a newborn is so wonderful - and it's also a lot of hard work! Newborns are so helpless and vulnerable; they require incessant care. Between night wakings, diaper changes and recovering from childbirth, the last thing a breastfeeding mom needs is nipples thrush - ouch!

If you have nipples thrush, it's important to realize that you're going to need to treat both yourself and your baby. Otherwise, even if your baby doesn't have any obvious symptoms of yeast thrush, you can end up passing the yeast back and forth.

It's also best to treat your child to make sure he or she doesn't have yeast overgrowth unseen to the naked eye - growing in his or her intestines, for example. Yeast overgrowth is so common these days and can cause problems in babies and children just as it does in so many adults.

For immediate relief of nipples thrush, try massaging them with olive oil or coconut oil. Both olive oil and coconut oil have natural anti-yeast properties and are very soothing. After nursing, you can also try mixing a little baking soda with water and making a paste to apply to your nipples. The alkaline pH of the baking soda helps stop the yeast from growing. If you like, you can also try alternating these remedies. (For more information on nipples thrush, you may also like to read my article on ezinearticles.com here.)

For ideal results for you and your baby - and to prevent the yeast leading to more serious health problems down the road - the best approach is to correct the imbalance that allowed the thrush to grow out of control in the first place. This is best done naturally and holistically.

As a natural health professional with over 15 years of experience in the industry, when I confronted breastfeeding thrush myself I realized what a lack there is of truly helpful and safe information on how to treat thrush naturally. This led me to write my best-selling ebook, "The 3-Day Thrush Cure", which is specifically designed to cure nipples thrush quickly and naturally - without expensive doctors' visits or harmful drugs.
