Common Breastfeeding Problems: Thrush



PREVENTION:

       Wash your hands carefully before each breastfeeding and
          after each diaper change.

      Expose your breasts and your baby's bottom to air and
         sunlight whenever possible. Avoid sunburn.

      Change breast pads and diapers frequently. Do not use pads
         with plastic liners.

      Avoid the use of nipple creams and lotions that may encourage
         the growth of yeast-like fungus or bacteria.

      Air dry nipples after each breastfeeding whenever possible.
