Our pediatrician back in California, Dr. Jay Gordon, only male doctor Board Certified Lactation Consultant, recommended diluted grapefruit seed extract in a spray bottle.

You can also take it internally; anti-yeast and anti-candida formula. Dr. Jay also told us this was safe for nursing since it is derived from a whole food; not an herb.

I still need to learn more about making Keifer from Pat!<br />
<br />
also if you have yeast on your breast, keeeping them dry as much as possible. Do not use nursing pads with plastic backings. Vinger rinse also good to use.<br />
<br />
there is also information on diets to decrease yeast... especially avoiding sugar and wheat products are on the list too.<br />

A vinager rinse on your nipples before and after feedings can help. A friend also swears that she tried everything and Keifer (she got from Pat I think) cleared it right up.
