A member asked:
My 8 month old daughter has a yeast infection. what does it come from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yeast is everywhere: Yeast is present in spore form as much as bacteria or viruses.It comprises at least 5% of the dry weight of anyone's poo. If a kid has any irritation in his/her diaper area, the yeast in the poo can set up a yeast infection within hours.
