Fucking Yeast

My baby has a yeast infection. It started out looking like a really bad case of diaper rash, which we've tackled successfully before. But in the last couple of days, it seemed to be spreading. I knew in my gut that it wasn't a diaper rash when I first saw it but I was being optimistic and perhaps didn't want to find out. So I went to see a doctor today and she confirmed that it was indeed that but we started talking about constipation and her eating habits and I felt like an asshole after that. I explained to her that Elle doesn't like solids. I suppose if I gave her pizza, she'd devour it but that's not going to happen. 90% of the foods that I give her, she only eats a bite or two, small, tiny bites! So, she still gets her main nutrition from nursing which the doctor exclaimed, "she's too old to be getting all her food from breast milk"

What?? This from the same practice with another doctor who told me to breast feed until my baby is 4 years old!

I hope the Lotrimin AF I got today helps get rid of it and I've had her out of diapers alot lately so I hope it all helps it get better.

Poor little baby, all she wants to do is scratch her crotch and that's always a bad sign :)
