Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the mouth of infants. Usually this happens if a baby switches from breast to bottle and the bottle is not properly sanitized first. Thrush is basically the equivalent of a female yeast infection only a baby's starts in the mouth. After a baby has taken the required medication to get rid thrush they will usually get a diaper rash resulting in small white pimples. The doctor may give you a ointment to apply.
