Thrush experiences?

My baby girl has thrush and I was just wondering if anyone could share their experiences?I feel bad for her. ;( Were doing the treatment of 4x a day on each cheek for two weeks and was told I should use it on my nipples too. I wish I knew about thrush before having her I would of took much much better precautions. Especially would of helped if I could of caught it sooner.This crap hurts!

We had thrush for 10 weeks we were on nystatin I was on an oral anti yeast pill. We tried EVERYTHING! All the tricks of fresh air, new bras, everything. Here is what finally worked: Grape Fruit Seed Extract. My cousin kept telling me about it but I blew her off a few times. Until we had seen the lactation consultant, my MW, her ped, and they just starting telling me that some people have in until they wean. 

This is the treatment plan I followed, and it literally was TOTALLY gone in 3 days, after having had it for 10 weeks!  http://drjaygordon.com/breastfeeding/thrush.html. You can also add it to your dishwater to wash bottles and your laundry to wash bras, clothes with spit up etc. I didn't but you can. Good luck I really recommend trying it. I tell everyone about it!

I ended up going through two rounds of Nystatin, and the second time I just switched out bras more often and boiled everything that touched my milk or his mouth right before the end of his treatment.  He still had a couple of white lesions on his lip after the second round, but it ended up going away on its own.

I was on two rounds of antibiotics for mastitis and now I'm wondering if I have thrush. I have lightning pains in my breasts randomly but no severe feeding pains or spots in baby's mouth yet. What were your symptoms?
