Thrush is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast-like organisms. Women describe the pain of nipple thrush as severe, even excruciating and, without appropriate help and support, many mothers give up breastfeeding before they are ready.

The good news is that appropriate treatment can protect mother and baby from premature weaning. This comprehensive and detailed information sheet is designed to help breastfeeding mothers and those supporting them identify whether a thrush infection is present and to provide information about commonly prescribed medications along with practical steps a mother can take to treat a thrush infection.

Available as a pack of 20 folded A3 format or as a single sheet.
