The last time I had nipple discomfort my doctor said I had a vaginal yeast infection. I did not have any vaginal itching, buring or discharge. (I was a bit more wet than usual though.) He said he saw white stuff that resembled cottage cheese. He prescribed diflucan and I took it. When my lab results came back the test for yeast infection was negative...(i did the labs before I took the diflucan). He explained yeast can be cause by two different (something - I forgot what he said) mono...Anyway, has anyone had/has this problem?
Also, my son has been more gassy than usual...could this be related to my nipples being itchy/burning?View Thread

Don't worry about measuring how much your baby eats. If baby is gaining weight and well hydrated it doesn't matter what volume of milk baby consumed.
Second, only wean when you and baby are ready. And understand that weaning can occur at different times for different mother-baby pairs. My first daughter nursed for sixteen months. Your baby might nurse for a shorter or longer time but don't give into social pressures about weaning. Nurse your baby proudly for as long as the two of you want, in private and out in public. Don't ever be ashamed to nurse your baby. Nursing is a wonderful, beautiful, natural thing. I would much rather my three-year-old see you nursing a baby than hear you use foul language any day. Even if the nipple shows breifly. If she sees nursing maybe she'll grow up to nurse her children too.View Thread
In the last month or so, it seems my supply has dropped and I drink more than 100oz of water, 30oz milk, and eat a pretty well rounded diet.
Maybe I need to eat more oatmeal?

My first baby is due in October and I really, really, really want to bf. I've been reading up online, and am considering whether I might take a class b4 he even arrives, but can anyone recommend a good guide to bf'ing to have on hand for issues like low milk production, sore nipples, detecting babies allergies, clogged ducts, mastitis... you catch my drift:)
Please and thankyou:)View Thread
