"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."

Help with summertime nursing please

I have a question about summertime nursing. My 10 mos old and I keep passing this yeast back and forth. Any ideas how to squelch that? I am a runner therefore a sweat-er, so is it unavoidable? I've tried baking soda (still working with that, it helps), tried bathing 3x a day, tried staying inside most of the time...tried probiotics, tried yogurt on skin, tried (uggghh) medicine prescribed by doctor. Any ideas? Much appreciated!

"Interesting. I do find info about Arnica as a poison ivy relief alternative. I hadn't heard of that. Homeopathic Apis helps for swelling, hives also. Pat"

Poison Ivy

Does anyone have suggestions for relieving poison ivy itch?  I'm new to holistic treatments, and hubby has a small case of what he thinks is poison ivy or oak on face and hands.
