Patient's question:
I have been feeling extremely weak all over these past few days, with headaches, nausea whenever I smell grease, a strong craving for sour things, irritability, and feeling hungry shortly after eating. I also have a constant urge to urinate. I'm wondering if these symptoms, along with breast pain, could be pregnancy-related. If so, what should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
The following reasons can lead to a baby developing thrush: First, the baby is very young and their immune system is not yet strong enough. Any slight scratch can provide an opportunity for bacteria to take hold. Second, the mother's nipples are not clean, or the baby can be infected through bottles, nipples, or fingers. Third, neglecting to clean the baby's mouth allows milk residue to stay in the mouth for a long time, which can spoil and promote bacterial growth.
