Baby Yeast Infection

Not only can adults with skin folds get a yeast infection, but so can those wondrously-pinchable chunky babies and toddlers. When working as a toddler teacher, I had come across both sexes of children with yeast infections. One of my toddler girls had a huge rash under her armpit. When I pointed this out to her mother, she was brought to the physician that same day. The following morning, her mum came to us with a cream - it was a cream to kill the yeast infection under her armpit! It is truly distressing to have a child who cannot talk, at last come down with a yeast infection.

On a baby, the only integrate of signs you get from a girl is just as unnerving to the child as to the mother. If your daughter cries every time she urinates into her diaper, and has a lot of redness and swelling in her vaginal area, then it may be time to take her to the pediatrician. I also had a toddler boy end up with a yeast infection. This child happened to have his foreskin attached to his penis still. If you do not know, many children nowadays happen to have the foreskin removed within a few days after birth - whether for germ-free purposes or religious reasons.

If the foreskin is not pulled back from the head of the penis and cleaned properly, then a yeast infection can occur. One this child, the recurrent yeast infections became so much that his parents ultimately decided to put the child straight through surgery (at 21 months of age) to have the foreskin removed. Now, this does not mean that an uncircumcised boy will all the time get yeast infections, but the parents do need to make sure that they are properly cleaning the area. This also means that the child must be taught to do this as a young man, or, as an adult, that man can get a yeast infection nearby the head of his penis.

Infants can also be susceptible to a form of yeast infection in the mouth, called thrush. Thrush is seen in the mouth a small, white patches on the insides of the cheeks, and the roof of an infant's mouth. It is usually painless, but can come to be uncomfortable sufficient for an infant to refuse to breastfeed. That being said, a mum can covenant a yeast infection in her breasts if her infant has had thrush. Both the infant and the mum would need to be treated for the infection.

On the mother, small red or white patches can show on the breast, as well as red or purple discolored nipples. During breastfeeding, the mum may palpate shooting pain in the breast, or even a more sensitized nipple area. Many antibiotics to treat yeast infections can be passed straight through breast milk, so doctors truly need to exhibit caution when treating this type of infection. Some mothers swear by eating more yogurts that contains good bacteria, and lessening consumption of yeasty foods.
