My dd is 6 days old today. We started on the breast feeding very well - every 3 hours, wind, sleep repeat. Last night I was feeding constantly for 2.5 hours and she was crying a lot, obviously uncomfortable.
Today she has fed erratically but an awful lot - every 3 hours with top ups in between. We noticed a hard yellow mark on the top of her mouth. My mil is a nurse and she pointed out that it was probably thrush.
We took her to a doctor but he wasn't entirely convinced as it is yellow, on the roof of her mouth and there was no other white marks or anything. He did decide to give us a prescription for daktarin but said if it doesn't clear up soon to take her back.
Does anyone know if it could be anything else. The mark is yellow, right towards the back of the roof of her mouth and it won't wipe off. Has anyone seen this with thrush before, as she is only 6 days it could still be early thrush. Thanks.
