Breastfeeding women can develop a yeast infection in their breast which can be passed back and forth between mom and baby. It’s called thrush when it occurs in the mouth and a yeast infection when it occurs in the breast. Candida, also called yeast, is a fungus that occurs naturally in the mucous membranes and on the skin. An overgrowth of yeast can cause an infection. Don’t let a yeast infection go untreated, as both mom and baby must be treated to prevent reinfection. Yeast infections may lead to plugged ducts and mastitis.
Risk factors for yeast infections:
Antibiotics (causes yeast to multiply);
Vaginal yeast infection in the mother during pregnancy;
Diabetes in the mother;
Anemia in the mother;
Cracked nipples make mother and your baby more at risk for developing a yeast infection;
Damp nursing pads or bras;
Plastic lined nursing pads – they prevent air flow to the nipple area.
Symptoms in the mother:
Red, pink and sore nipple;
Sharp, burning pain in the nipple and shooting pain deep in the breast;
Severe stinging;
Severe burning ;
Cracked nipples;
Nipples that are itchy or burning;
Shooting pain in the breast during or after a feeding (yeast most is in the milk ducts);
Nipple or breast pain with correct use of a pump.
Symptoms in baby:
Thrush appears as white spots or patches in the baby’s mouth;
Diaper rash;
Nursing may be uncomfortable for the baby and he may pull off the breast or refuse to nurse;
Excessive gassiness; and,
Thrush can also be symptomless.
What to do for mom:
See your doctor and strictly follow her recommended course of treatment
Wash hands often;
Nurse frequently for shorter amounts of time;
Eat yogurt;
Rinse nipples after nursing and air dry well;
After feeding apply antifungal cream (if recommended by your doctor);
Change nursing pads at each feeding and keep nipples as dry as possible;
Watch your sugar intake – yeast feeds on sugar;
Your doctor may prescribe an antifungal medication like Diflucan (fluconazole) which can be very effective;
Violet on your nipples (if recommended by your doctor); and
Feed baby with expressed milk – freezing the milk will not kill the yeast.
What to do for thrush in baby’s mouth:
See your baby’s pediatrician and strictly follow her recommended course of treatment.
She may prescribe nystatin drops;
Boil any objects that go in baby’s mouth for 20 minutes.
Yeast is persistent so it’s very important to get a follow-up with your doctor even when you think the infection is gone.
