Thrush in the newborn - unfortunately, quite common and unpleasant condition. It is caused by microscopic yeast Candida albicans (Latin Albicans - whitish).
Normally a small amount of this fungus is part of the flora of the mouth, vagina and colon of each, but when the acidity of the mucosa, its number is increasing significantly, causing a disease of candidiasis, also known as thrush.

| How to protect the baby from thrush? |
Causes of infant thrush a lot. The most common infection occurs in utero from an infected mom, because fungi Candida in advanced cases a pregnant woman found in amniotic fluid and placenta. The second common way of infection from mother to child occurs during the passage of the baby birth canal. In other cases, infection occurs when the baby's lack of respect for the mother of the rules of hygiene.
Not enough to clean the nipple, or a toy, poorly washed hands, kiss on the lips of the child with lesions of the oral mucosa of the mother. And there is another mode of transmission: during breast-feeding a baby when the fungus gets on the oral mucosa from the skin of a baby pacifier.
But getting a fungus on the mucous does not always lead to an increase in its population. In order to develop a disease that requires favorable for the growth of the fungus population terms:
- A certain temperature;
- Moist environment;
- The necessary acidity.
Mouth of the child is a good place not only for the attachment of the fungus to the mucosa, but also for its rapid growth and increasing the number of colonies. Again, that getting a fungus on the mucous does not always lead to thrush. What else is needed for developing the disease?
Lowered resistance, that is, lowered immunity, when the body can not cope with the growing number of mold yourself. When this occurs? In the first days of life the infant, when his body had not yet started on their own to produce enough antibodies. Metabolic disorders of the body, the endocrine system. Also, it occurs during prolonged treatment with antibiotics the child when the unbalanced internal flora of the body. Often, thrush affects children, who often vomit after feeding, as in the mouth they have created optimal conditions for growth of pathogenic fungi.
How do you know whether the child is struck by the fungus Candida? It's enough to look into the mouth baby. At first, the tongue mucosa, gums, palate and cheeks appear white krupinchatye point. Over time, their number increases and the points are similar to tvorogoobraznye grains, then the entire mucosa is covered with white bloom. If the child does not receive treatment, the duration of time sereet, then turns yellow and becomes like a purulent plenochkoy. If you try to gently remove the tampon this film, it remains in place, but with a certain force is removed, leaving the affected mucosa, which are the drops of blood. Do not expect that the yeast over time, "she will." If left untreated, it becomes more severe when the affected esophagus and other organs of the digestive system.
What do you do if your baby is struck by a fungus? There are many ways to fight disease. And it is written about them a lot and in detail. This irrigation or rubbing the child's oral cavity with various solutions, and treatment with drugs. What a way to treat your child choose you - your work, but be sure to consult your pediatrician.
The most important thing is not to give the child becoming infected. How is this done? First, be sure to keep an eye on their hygiene and child. Wash your hands with soap and water, do not go home in the clothes, which went on the street. The most common change your underwear, especially if you suffer from excessive sweating. If your baby is often regurgitation, try not to disturb him immediately after feeding. Another good way - after every feeding and must regurgitation after giving this baby a little bit to drink some water lukewarm bottle to wash away the remnants of the mucous membrane of milk, thereby preventing the growth of the fungus population.
Before each feeding breastfed baby, make sure to clean her skin. Many doctors now recommend not ever wash your breasts with soap and water, someone has to wipe the teat and the adjacent area with a solution Frc. I recommend you a great way to people who many years ago I taught a village girl, my neighbor in the ward in a nursing home. Before you bring your baby to the breast first, cover the nipple and areola (just stood up for their border) natural honey. In order not to stain clothes, cover it all circles of the cellophane. Leave the "honey mask" for a few hours before the first feeding, and then apply honey after each feeding and leave them to the next.
But what is important! Before each feeding should be carefully washed off the honey from her chest, leaving no droplets, so that the child was not allergic. Such a honey mask not only kills bacteria and fungi, preventing the development of thrush in the child, but also softens the skin of the nipple, which is never crack and will not bring you discomfort during breast-feeding. What makes each feeding will be for you and your baby's indescribable pleasure!
Stay healthy and take care of yourself health of your kids!
