what worked best for you, mycostatin (nystatin) drops dont seem to be working

How long have you been using the drops for?

It can take up to two weeks.

You can also get some sterile gauze and gently whipe the chunks away before putting the drops in her mouth.

They dont give daktarin gel anymore because there where some cases of choking, this worked extremely well.

has she got it on her genitals aswell? if so you should treat that with an anti fungal cream.

And if still breast feeding at all, make sure you are treating yourself.

You could try Nilstat drops. They are similar to what you are using but taste much better. Also as the PP said, you will need to keep using them for about 2 weeks to get full results.

lil catlin had thrush i was useing nilstat but it wasn't seem to be working

so i went to the chemist and the pharmist said i could try usin daktarin for the thrush on my boobs and on bubby (but had to make sure that there was no chunky bit's in it as i baby chocked buc a few years ago)

and it has seemed to have worked as she dosen't have thrush anymore and it worked within 5 days

and she was on the nilstat for over three weeks and nothing was happin

well thats my oppion
