Thrush and Breastfeeding: How to Fix This Frustrating Problem

Yeast cells are wiley little critters and they can make life hard for breastfeeding moms. If you're dealing with breastfeeding thrush, you may experience the following symptoms:

*itchy, red or painful nipples
*flaky, peeling skin
*deep shooting pains in your breasts
*pain while nursing that doesn't go away.

You may also notice symptoms in your baby, such as:

*white patches on your baby's tongue or gums or inside baby's cheeks
*increased fussiness
*difficulty nursing
*reluctance to nurse.

Breastfeeding thrush is often linked to exposure to antibiotics curing labor and delivery - this is one common risk factor for thrush. Prematurity is another risk factor, as premature infants are more susceptible to any kind of opportunistic infection. I have some more information on thrush and breastfeeding here.

To learn more about breastfeeding thrush and how you can cure it naturally and holistically, just visit my website www.GetRidofThrush.com. With over 15 years of professional experience in the natural health industry, when I confronted breastfeeding thrush myself I realized how difficult it is to find truly safe and effective information to cure thrush naturally. This led me to develop and write "The 3-Day Thrush Cure." Click here to download your copy today.
