Thrush

When we went to the doctor last week, we found out that Nathan has thrush. This is a yeast infection in his mouth on each side of his cheeks. It's not unusual for babies to get it as their bodies adjust to life, but nevertheless, you have to get medicine for it.

Our nurse practitioner recommended that we get Gentian violet to put on it and it would clear up in less than a week. Violet means purple and sure enough we're purple! Thankfully it wears off as the day goes on. Treatment is just 2x a day. We're hopeful to be done before daycare on Monday. Poor thing!
