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.

Why do infections of the breasts of breastfeeding mothers thrive?

I'm not entirely sure what is being asked here, but there are infections that a breastfeeding mother can contract. Most common are thrush and mastitis. Thrush is a yeast infection that can be passed from mother to baby and back again. It occurs on the mother's breast(s) and in the baby's mouth. If both mother and baby are not treated until the infection is gone, they will continue to re-infect each other. Mastitis is a bacterial infection of the breast and can occur in one or both. It does not affect the baby or the breastmilk. It requires treatment in the form of an antibiotic, and it will get better much more quickly if the mother continues to breastfeed or pump. Both of these infections make breastfeeding quite painful, but both are treatable.

If you have thrush is it unsafe to breastfeed?

The short answer is no. I guess it would depend on circumstances though. Normally in nursing couples if one party has thrush, so does the other (even if they are asymptomatic). So if you have thrush (in the nipples for example) it is very likely that your baby has it also. Thrush is fairly easy to diagnose if (a) your baby has white or pearly patches in the mouth that do not easily rub away (like milk residue) (b) baby is fussy or gassy or continually pulling off while nursing (c) has persistent (possible raised) painful-looking red diaper rash that does not respond to diaper rash creams. For you your nipples may be redder than normal or bright pink, sometimes scaly, puffy, weepy or blistered, and breastfeeding might be moderately uncomfortable to excruciatingly painful. Lancing pain that runs deep in the breast may indicate thrush is in the milk ducts as well as on the surface of the nipple.If you are prescribed medication check with the doctor that it is safe for you to continue nursing. Nystatin drops will often be prescribed for baby to take orally for thrush (and it can be administered topically to the nipples) although I've been reading some debate about its effectiveness (see for example Kellymom's website on thrush resources http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/thrush/thrush-resources.html). It worked fine for me. Pam Gima's yeast treatment plan (also detailed on the Kelly Mom site) also gives suggestions for boosting the immune system and your friendly intestinal flora through diet and garlic and acidophilus supplements.Both you and baby may have problems nursing with a thrush infection, because baby's painful mouth will tend to have her pull off before she is full, and your painful nipples will want the same!

When brushing your teeth, rinse your toothbrush with water then apply 1 or 2 drops to your toothbrush and rinse it thoroughly. Then brush your teeth as normal. Rose Geranium is not ingestible because it is a poison to humans. But by applying a small amount on your toothbrush and rinsing it will help kill any bacteria in your mouth. I believe the instructions/directions come with the 1/3 ounce bottle.

What kind of lesion is a little white point on the gum of an one year old baby?

A white "dot" in the mouth of a newborn, infant, or toddler is not typically a lesion. Most often it is either mucous-coated milk (or formula), or the biggest culprit is thrush which is an oral yeast infection. You should take the baby to the doctor for a diagnosis. Thrush is very common in young children/babies but if left untreated it can multiply. It can cause sore mouth, sore throat, nausea, upset tummy, vomiting, and can contribute to ear infections. It may need more than one course of treatment; it is usually re-evaluated after a few weeks.
