LO1, 2y2m, just got diagnosed with a yeast infection down in the diaper area. No visible rash, but he keeps grabbing his crotch and saying "owie." He just finished up 10 days of antibiotics and I guess that + being uncircumcised = bigger risk for a yeast infection.

I am still nursing him about 3x a day, 2-3min at a time. I am also nursing LO2, a newborn. Could a yeast infection down there on him, turn into a thrush infection for breastfeeding for both/all 3 of us? I'd HATE to get thrush.... all the sterilizing of everything, ugh. We already have to bleach ALL of his cloth diapers now, but thrush would mean also sterilizing all my bras, nursing pads, the bottles, and bottle nipples. I probably have to bleach all the newborn's cloth diapers, too. Groan.

I wasn't at the dr appt so I didn't get to ask the dr, the nurse line is closed. I asked a pediatrician friend of ours and he says it shouldn't become thrush /transferred through breastfeeding. But I was hoping to find some moms here with personal experience.
