I know your PAIN!!! No one under...I am so so sorry. I know your PAIN!!! No one understands the pain of yeast until they have experienced it. I got it with both boys. I only made it 4 months with my first cause I had no idea what was going on and could not heal. Finally gave up cause the pain was AWFUL. I did the salt water many times..ouch! So with my 2nd I really researched it out. Did everything in my power to avoid getting yeast. Well, I got it again. The 14 day cycle of meds didn't help me.. it only helped for a week or so... so this is why I am writing you. I used Gentian Violet 1%. This is the ONLY thing that kicked it gone. It's amazing how easy breastfeeding is and how pain free it is when you don't have yeast. So keep going. once its gone.. you will feel like a new women. I am so so so sorry you have had to go through this. There are so many emotions as being a new mother and not wanting to feed them on top of the pain is just awful. I actually recently just got yeast again. My baby is now 10 months. Thankfully my mom is coming this week so I can get going on some meds and Gentian Violet. Please, please message me if you have any questions at all. Also, be aware that is can come back and at that moment.. get on some meds as quickly as you can. Mine started up again in January and it took me a while to figure what was going on.. baby got teeth and I was wondering if it was a new latch etc... So anyway.. sorry to leave a huge comment.. but I feel your pain. Its awful and to keep pushing through. Let me know if you need any help. Also.. stay on a good Pro biotic and get Leo on one too. They have them at Good Earth. It helps him so he won't get thrush if he doesn't already. <br />Lizzy and Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761370725719846750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564546514141911094.post-19927573168918249602014-03-29T19:10:43.933-04:002014-03-29T19:10:43.933-04:00Easton was a slllloooowwww eater for the first 2 m...Easton was a slllloooowwww eater for the first 2 month. Slow as in, took an hour to eat and was eating every 2 hours!! And, I had some supply issues, so the first month I was feeding him (for an hour) then giving him an oz of formula, then pumping! Left about 30 mins before repeating! Thankfully, he has sped up these days! <br /><br />I've said this several times, for breastfeeding to be the natural way, it sure is tough!! But all the struggle is definitely worth it!Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10311371398183500981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564546514141911094.post-41201908312134413172014-03-28T00:01:50.195-04:002014-03-28T00:01:50.195-04:00My nipples were so sore for months!
