Violet Milo

I don't remember if I got into much about how to treat the thrush... I am taking an oral medication. But in addition to the oral medication a lot of women have found great relief from using something called Gentian Violet. Basically its this bright violet stuff that is painted onto the nipple, then you nurse your baby. That way it treats both myself and Milo. It is purple. It is messy. And it stains tiny lips and faces! I knew this going in, but believe me... I need the relief and I want to make sure it doesn't flare up in Milo to where it causes him discomfort or interferes with his eating. I'm just not sure how I will possibly take him in public with a purple face. We've come up with a few different lines to say to people when they ask why his face is purple... "Is that not normal?" "I make purple milk." "He just had his first purple slushie."
