Yeast Infections

[ArtTime]

My son is 1 yrs old and this is his third yeast infection.  I really would like to know natural ways to heal an infant-toddler BOY yeast infection.  That way we don't need a prescription each time.

Give him a baking soda bath or an oatmeal bath... Baking soda just pour some into the water and swish,,, Oatmeal ,put some uncooked oatmeal in a sock,tie the sock,throw into bathtub with little one..

This will help soothe ,and get rid of the stinginess.. Worked for my girls everytime.. Good Luck..

Oct. 31, 2007 at 12:56 PM When my son was having trouble with yeast infections I gave him some of that new Dan-active yogurt to eat. I read online that a baby's yeast infection is usually gastro-intestinal. I also used just regular monistat or Lotrimin.  My mom is a retired nurse and that is what she had suggested. Also try looking on webmd.com. Good luck.

Oct. 31, 2007 at 12:57 PM Im not positive if it will work, but it's cured my yest infections and its not antibotics or even a type of drug.  It's called acidophilus, it comes in gel caps and I get it from Ritzman's Pharmacy but they should be available at any natural health food supplier.  You're supposed to take them like pills each day, but I had a yeast infection and figured what's it gonna hurt.  So I used it kinda like a suposatory (sp?) for your son's problem I would probably open the gel caps and mix it with aquafor or something of that nature.  Anyways hope it helps, there is also info on the net about the acidophilus I'd google it if you want more info on it first.
