Is yeast dangerous for newborn babies to have?
When my son was a newborn, he got thrush (yeast in the mouth). My pediatrician said it was not dangerous for him but that it might cause me to get a painful yeast infection on my nipples as I was breast feeding him. Also, if the pediatrician gave you “genetian violet” to get rid of the yeast/thrush, be very careful and it stains terribly and will not wash out! This is an “official” answer from babycenter.com My baby has white patches on the insides of her cheeks. What could this be? It could be a common and harmless yeast infection known as thrush.
