Poor Baby

I had been wondering the past week if Nadia might have thrush. I have been pumping and mixing my milk with formula the past few weeks because my milk supply had dropped ever since I started working. Thankfully that means that I have no symptoms and didn't get it, but poor Nadia did. At first it was only her tongue that was white but then I noticed that the top of her mouth and the inside of her cheeks were getting white spots. I called the Dr and was told to call a different office to speak with the nurse, well 6 phone calls later I finally reached someone who would take a message for me. While I waited for her to call me back I researched treatments myself and decided that I would try an over the counter treatment that I could find at the pharmacy. Of course as I was pulling into the garage the nurse called me back and actually suggested the very thing I had just bought. The down side to it is that it is messy and it turns whatever it touches purple. I am thankful that she is not in any pain because thrush can be very painful, I think I caught it before it got too bad. We are supposed to treat her once a day for 3 days. I already noticed a difference today after her first treatment last night. I hope that this works for our poor little girl!
