A baby gets thrush due to in inbalance of good and bad bacteria in the mouth, causing the yeast infection. This imbalance could have been caused by the baby just passing through the birth canal or from bacteria on your breasts or anything that you put in his mouth. You can get rid of it many ways. You can try Probiotics to try and balance everything out. You can try gentian violet which comes in drops. Or you can get a perscription for the doctor for it. It doesn’t hurt at first but as it gets worse it causes open sores in the mouth and will make it difficult for him to feed. Please don’t go too long without treating him for it.
