I just want her to feel better.She also has thrush, so would you suggest i not let her feed form my breast on tell she and I are all the way healed? I have a pump, so she  still is getting breast milk. [/INST] Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint oral thrush is a yeast infection, and it occurs due to low level of immunity in newborn and makes them more prone to opportunistic infections. I would first suggest you to give her more of mothers milk as it helps in improving immunity of the infant as it contains antibodies. If it is not possible to breastfeed her you can use breast milk pump. You should also consult a Pediatrician who can give antifungal mouth Chat Doctor. . You should also treat your nipples with antifungal ointment to prevent cross infection. You can also do cool compresses over her tongue to reduce inflammation and pain. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. </s>
