help please

Sorry this post is such a personal nature, but I just don't know what to
do right now. I have a yeast infection...not sure where it came from.
I was on antibiotics three weeks ago....but that seems like a long time.

Anyway, I looked up monistat in Hale's and it was L2. So, I used it
last night. Unfortunately, I didn't read the label carefully that
the new Monistat 1 isn't the same Monistat 1 that is listed in the
book. So, instead of using miconazole, I have used tioconazole. I have
already nursed my daughter and am panicking because I can't find any
information online about this.

I will call my breastfeeding hotline, but it isn't open for a few
hours. Does anyone know if this is safe/not safe?

Thank you,
Kim

Sorry to reply to my own post...but reading the packaging it seems I
have used miconazole nitrate. Any info on this? I am in full panic
mode now...

Don't worry. It's fine.

And here is *why* it's fine: it's a topical application, which is not
absorbed through the skin. Beyond that, most antifungals are generally
pretty harmless. I mean obviously you don't want to eat them, but even if
you got a little bit in your mouth (and this stuff won't pass into your milk
anyway so that's not a risk) the most it would do is probably kill some
yeast in baby's digestive tract.

It's safe. I used it with ped approval when my DD was an infant.

And hey, let us know if it works!
