Why oh why do my DD keep getting yeast infections?

actually both my DD's, is there something lacking in their diet or what one of my Dd's has dairy allergies..

 

has she been on antibiotics a lot?
Does she like yogurt? Yogurt can really help and I know antibiotics can really mess up us girls.

 

Try feeding them more yogurt and less things made with yeast and sugar. Some people are sensitive to yeast (like in bread) and refined white sugar and it somehow feeds all the naturally occurring yeast in their vagina, then those little suckers quickly get out of hand.

 

This is what I use to control yeast in my body. I rarely have a yeast infection down there, but I do deal with yeast in my milk ducts and intestines. When treating the symptoms get worse before they get better, because of the die off.

Bubble baths are a known culprit. I just started this past week letting the girls take them and it's only once a week. They've only had one case of bad diaper rash and I make sure they always have diaper cream on, with each diaper change. It seems to help my two. I've also had a tube of Nystatin on hand in case I see those little red bumps surface, I'll put a little Nystatin on and it'll clear up. I'd call your pedi and ask for a Rx for the Nystatin. Hope you get it figured out and she feels better soon.

Here are some links I've found. Hope they help.

Thank you so much for all the info!!!

 

My SD was prone to these and had them alot from age 2-5 she had about 2 from age 5 years until present, she will be 11. She stopped taking baths at age 4 per doc orders and we gave only showers until she was old enough to do them herself, no ice tea, soda dark drinks tend to give her a reaction and I had to monitor her wiping skills for awhile because she was not properly drying herself when she went to the bathroom. Give her some yogurt or cranberry juice. HTHs!
