Yes. When a new mother contracts a yeast infection, they are typically given either topical or oral antifungals to help fight the infection. In addition, they are instructed to continue breast feeding. We do recommend that you thoroughly rinse the pad with warm water after each use to remove residual milk and/or excess medication from the pad surface. If the pad happens to become cloudy or milky in appearance, the pad should be discarded and replaced with a new one.
