Yeast Infection

Before going to the hospital, Len and I had made a decision not to take the antibiotics for the Strep Group B bacteria during labor. I was taking probiotics daily, so chances that I'd still have the bacteria during labor and that the baby would get it were very small.

It took just a few seconds though for the nurse to change our minds. She convinced us that the bacteria are deadly for the newborn. And that's how the chain started. I got the antibiotics; Maya got the yeast infection in her mouth (my milk took care of it though); Klaudia played with M's pacifier; K got the infection.

So, last Friday I went out with both girls all by myself for the very first time. We went to see the local pediatrician who prescribed some medication for K that has already helped her infection since. The trip went very well - Maya did sleep through the whole thing which was very helpful. We saw the same doctor who in my opinion wrongfully prescribed the antibiotics to K last time. This time the appointment went much better - although he kept calling K a "he" instead of a "she".
