I’m sorry you guys had a rough night nevertoomanyshoes. I hope you can get a shower and that your day goes well. I know it doesn’t solve everything but a shower always does wonders for my mood. Hugs and energy sent your way! Thanks! It’s going ok considering lack of sleep. A morning shower is my non-negotiable, otherwise I don’t feel human (especially after being up with a baby half the night). I put him on the activity mat and he chilled in the bathroom with me while I showered and DS1 had some Ipad time. It was crowded in the bathroom

Does anyone have an angelcare movement monitor? Will it work in the PNP bassinet as long as I put the board underneath it? We have the sound monitor which we still use for DS1. I was going to get another sound monitor but I have a lot of anxiety so I got the sound + movement one. We do and yes, it works fine. I have one in the bassinet for DS2 and we used one in a p n p for DS1 when we travelled. No issues, just turn the sensitivity down because the mattress is so thin.

At the rate we’re going J’s thrush is never going to go away. Every time I think it’s cleared up, I find more spots in another part of his mouth. I can’t wait to see our pediatrician on Tuesday to either get a refill since I’m almost out of the medicine or figure out if a different medicine might work better.

auri and calendula have you tried the gentian violet for the thrush? Some ladies on GD suggested it as something that worked for them for thrush not too long ago. misspatty is giving it a go right now I think?

We have thrush that won't go away too. What meds are you using? What have you tried? The dr prescribed him Nystatin. She told me to rub .5ml in each side of his mouth, 4 times a day. Then after it clears up I was supposed to do it another 4 days to make sure it doesn’t come back. But every time I think it’s gone I find spots In another part of his mouth. I’m bottle feeding him, so I don’t need to worry about treating myself too, so I’ve just been washing everything that goes in his mouth really good and boiling it.

@nevertwomanyshoes I haven’t heard of genetian violet before. I’m a little weary about trying it without checking with his pediatrician though.

We did two weeks of the Nystatin on her and it actually got worse. Mine responded to Diflucan so we started her on Diflucan late last week. It hasn't made any real progress either. Idk what to do.

I’m sorry that it’s not clearing up. I’m feeling so clueless on how to treat this...the only problem I ever had with DD was a couple of blocked tear ducts.

We too are fighting a losing battle with thrush. We tried the GV and it didn’t work. It stained her mouth for about a day but it really wasn’t that bad. I’m so frustrated with the whole situation. We’ve done multiple rounds of meds and boiled pump parts, bottles, my bras, pacis, onesies, etc every day for two weeks after work and nothing changed. I’m completely exhausted by it and I honestly think we may just let it be unless she starts refusing bottles and breastfeeding again. Same. I am frustrated. The boiling thing is on my last nerve and I've ruined all my bras with messy ointments and meds. Nothing we have done has even made any progress. It's not like it gets better and relapses...it just has zero impact. Her tongue now has black and blue spots. It looks like moldy bread. It's gross and I'm so frustrated that we can't treat it.
