What are the symptoms of thrush
You can know if you have a thrush if you have a vaginal discharge that is heavier than normal, however many women have normal heavy discharge from time to time but this is caused by those who take oral contraceptives. Here are other symptoms that will tell you if you have thrush:
• The discharge is usually white and thick, much like curds.
• There is itching in the vagina and around the vulva.
• The woman’s partner may have itching in the penis.

Is it okay to breastfeed if you have thrush?
Yes. Breastfeeding is best for babies and does not need to be interrupted even if the mother or the baby has thrush. However, both mother and baby should be treated with anti-fungal medication for one to two weeks after the symptoms have cleared. Keep in mind that breastfeeding with thrush can be painful.
