Hello,
If you wish to speak with Susun, you may phone her free herbal/health hot line at 845-246-8081 on Tuesday evenings, 7:30pm-9:30pm Eastern time, from Mid-April to the end of October.
When babies get oral thrush, any of the following remedies can help. Of course they are geared toward those nursing and the reinfection from the mother's breast, so adapt them to fit your own situation.
Susun writes about this in her Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year. She precedes the remedies with mentioning that they will clear it up within days, but that they need to be continued diligently for weeks to keep it from reoccuring. In addition to any remedy she writes to take extra care with hygeine - washing your hands every time you go to the bathroom, touch your child's mouth, or touch your breasts. The four options she mentions are yogurt, baking soda, goldenseal powder, or plantain seeds.
Did this come on perhaps becuase of antibiotic use? For yogurt Susun suggests you get it in the insides of your babe's mouth as well as coat on your breast. And always wash your hands after doing so. Also be sure not to contaminate the yogurt. It needs to be yogurt with active live cultures. She says to wash your nipples of the yogurt before nursing, of course again I assume this does not apply to you. I suggest you ingest yogurt as well. The details of the other remedies I do not know offhand and my books are packed away while I am remodeling. I should have access to them again in the next couple days, and am happy to type them out if you wish.
Blessings,
Karen Joy
