Very worried about little D. although he isn't showing signs of discomfort, I want to take care of this ASAP. My Medical insurance does not add him on for another month and I don't want to wait that long to take care of this. Is there any home remedy that can help my 12 day old son?

The easiest to do :
a) buy Gentian Violet; use cotton swabs to apply over the thrush; dont get upset because of the colour; it will pass off;
b) ensure you are breast feeding
c) check if you have candidiasis and get it treated
d) start the baby on infant multivitamin drops.
Your child will be fine.

Please do not put pee in your baby's mouth! Your insurance should have started covering him from day 1, especially if you are covered. But...take him to the health department. They will give him a prescription for nystatin liquid, which you will dab on a q-tip and swab his mouth with 4 times a day. If you're breastfeeding, you'll apply it to your nipples, too. If not, make sure you boil all nipples and passies well to kill the fungus. There really isn't an over-the-counter remedy that works for a fungus in the mouth, and I definitely wouldn't try anything like that on a 12 day old. The health dept. will see him for free or on a sliding scale and that way you can make sure he's properly taken care of. I would double-check with your human resources about his insurance also.

Thrush can spread through the baby's body. If it does that he will be in a lot of discomfort. Stop being so stingy and take your son to the doctor now.

take a wash cloth and wet it in warm water. Put the wash cloth over your index finger and clean the baby's mouth after every bottle. That should get you through until you see a doc. Make sure to clean the tongue as well but be careful because you don't want the baby to gag and throw up.

Listen up all new moms.......works quicker, better and it doesn't cost a thing. When the child tinkles, take the diaper and wipe it over the baby's tongue. Urine is also excellent for preventing ring-worms, but if you're lazy and let it spread too far.......shame on you. New mom's take a moment and listen to your great grand mother......yes, great grand-mothers because grand-mothers these days are what, 25/30 years old, they know absolutely nothing. You may need to go a step further and talk to your great-great grand mother.

You can buy oral thrush solutions and nappy/diaper area thrush creams from the pharmarcy. These are not overly expensive, pop in and ask they should be able to help. You shouldnt need insurance for that

If your baby has thrush then you do too if you are breastfeeding. Go to your OB and tell him the situation, he basically has to treat both of you because you can keep passing it back and forth. It's kinda hard for mom's to tell if they have yeast so assume you do since baby does.

I cant believe your babies health revolves around when your health insurance kicks in. Take your baby to a Dr. and deal with the bills when they come in. You now have someone in your life who looks to you for help and protection. GROW UP!

I dont know any cures but you def. need to start cleaning everything really well. Boil his bottles and nipples every so often, and in between each feeding make sure you wash everything with hot, soapy water.
