Relax: Thrush is a minor issue of little importance. The germ involved is around us everywhere, and we all have it in our digestive tract.It make up at least 5% of the dry weight of our poo. Infants feed so often the sugar in the feed can sustain extra growth on the oral membranes.It can produce irritation but does not always need treatment.You can never eliminate it from babies system, so relax.
