quest How do I know if my baby has a yeast infection?

 

Yeast loves the moist, dark diaper area and can cause a bright red rash, often with small red 'satellite' pimples radiating from the border of the rash. You can differentiate a yeast infection from irritation because, unlike simple irritation, yeast causes redness in the folds and creases and appears as a reddish-pink, raised patchy rash with sharp borders.

 

quest What factors increase tendency of yeast infection?

 

Yeast occurs especially if baby’s internal system (flora and fauna) are imbalanced, if baby is eating large amounts of sugary or starchy foods in solids or in Mama’s breast milk, or if baby is taking antibiotics or medications.Once a baby gets yeast, they seem to be more susceptible to future outbreaks.

 

 

If the rash persists after using diaper rash products and taking preventative measures discussed before under the previous topics, there may be an imbalance in the digestive system. You can sometimes tell if yeast, or candida, is present internally by unusual gassiness, belching, or spitting up.

Until the internal problem has been solved, yeast infections (or other types of candida growth such as thrush) may persist. You may choose to try an over the counter anti-fungal cream

Take care : Do not use baby powders that contain cornstarch or talc. Yeast can feed off of cornstarch and inflame more rapidly

Yogurt contains live cultures that can be helpful, however be cautious that flavored yogurt contains sugar. Plain yogurt can be taken internally, or put on babies bottom externally to assist positive bacteria growth.

If symptoms persist for a few days or get increasingly worse, you should have your child looked at by their pediatrician.
