Thrush

To add to my breastfeeding discomfort I have been diagnosed with thrush.  Holy boobie pain!  As if breastfeeding a newborn wasn't uncomfortable enough, try adding burning hot, fire needles in your nipples and breasts.  And when I say burning hot the closest similarity I can think of is when you are taking something out of the oven and burn your arm and it hurts like a mo fo...now imagine that pain INSIDE your breasts.  

If you think you have thrush (and you will suspect you do with the burning and the fact that your nipples look DISGUSTING and your child may have thrush in their mouth or bum) then call your ob immediately.  Do not pass go.  Do not collect $200.  Call now.  And call your pedi so your infant can get on meds, too.  You both need to be treated to get over this and not keeping pass it back and forth.

Sigh. 

FYI its taken me 45 minutes to write this email between giving the baby the pacifier 192 separate times...193...and getting the toddler food and turning on the ipad and changing diapers and...

Do you think I can tape the pacifier to the infant's face?  No?
