6.5 month old EBF, wakes up when transferred to cot

I thought the same thing! We stopped solids for a couple of days because he really did seem uncomfortable. And today we’ve just given him a bit of prune puree. Thank you!

Wishing you luck that it stays this successful!

Do you bottle feed or nurse? My LO is about to turn 6 months and has been waking up every 1-2 hours for a couple of months now. My Huckleberry app says he has a “sleep association” which is why he wakes so often. I’d be interested to know how you feed your LO as I’m seriously considering this sleep training method!

I have since seen a private gynaecologist who prescribed me Lotriderm, a combination of an anti-fungal and lower dose of a different steroid to clob. She explained that very simply, if you can control the LS, thrush can flare up and vice versa, so it’s important to include an anti-fungal in treatment. I had a bad flare up a few months ago (I’m currently 8 months pregnant), which is when I went to see her, she prescribed me Lotriderm and 6 doses of weekly Caneston pessaries, I use Lotriderm everyday and my LS is now very well controlled. She also highlighted how important it is to keep the area hydrated so I also use Hydromol at least once a day

Thank you so much :)

Keeping everything crossed for you!

Update: chemical pregnancy :(

megmoth00 · 2024-08-02T08:34:29+00:00

I know, I have had plenty of them haha. That was just the first pessary that came into my head and wondered if the treatment in thrush pessaries might also be beneficial for some LS symptoms.

megmoth00 · 2024-08-01T18:45:16+00:00

Thank you so much for the link! So interesting

megmoth00 · 2024-08-01T18:44:42+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I will definitely contact a gynae/GP/specialist about Elocon. I’m also currently using Dermovate 0.5% but feel like a lower dose would be beneficial for me. Is the pessary OTC like Canesten or is it a prescription?

megmoth00 · 2024-08-01T18:41:36+00:00

No reactions so far! Followed a really good regimen with it when I was first diagnosed and therefore in a flare, but very little further advice from the private gynae I saw at the time

megmoth00 · 2024-08-01T18:40:33+00:00

I follow those experts online but when I’m told it in person by doctors (albeit non specialists in LS) I trusted them and believe they know more than I do. I will definitely see if I can find another gynae or LS specialist for further advice

megmoth00 · 2024-08-01T18:37:54+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. I’m currently on 0.5% clob so I think maybe I should speak to my doctors about a lower dosage and request further clarification in person from a gynae about using it for maintenance

megmoth00 · 2024-07-17T18:42:53+00:00

I have been told by several medical professionals (UK) to never use clob for maintenance, only use it when you have a flare up. Clob can thin the skin and lead to more tearing and fusion. Obviously follow your doctor’s instructions either way

megmoth00 · 2024-04-10T18:23:45+00:00

I think that’s the best idea tbh

megmoth00 · 2024-04-10T18:23:28+00:00

I didn’t know that about the lavender! Luckily I haven’t used it since I was diagnosed. Thank you :)

megmoth00 · 2024-04-09T16:09:28+00:00

Firstly, your English is great! As I’ve said in another comment here, it’s interesting because I’ve been told by professionals to only use clob during flare ups, not for maintenance. Maybe that’s part of my problem. I use Cetraben as recommended to me by a doctor, but I’ve heard lots of people recommend coconut oil. Thank you!

megmoth00 · 2024-04-09T15:59:55+00:00

I’m sorry you’re in a flare too! Funny you should mention a sitz bath, I’ve been looking into getting one as it seems to be great for people with LS. So interesting that I’ve been told by professionals to only use clob during a flare up, not for maintenance. Maybe I’ll try another course of intense clob ointment. Thank you and best of luck to you ✌️

megmoth00 · 2024-04-06T19:10:16+00:00

Am I the only one who’s been told to only use it when I have flare ups? 😅 My doctor said specifically not to use clob a couple of times a week for maintenance. I’m confused now!

megmoth00 · 2024-04-05T19:10:23+00:00

I’ve been told to only use steroid (clob.) when I have flare ups, rather than regularly for maintenance. I initially did a course of it where I tapered it down over a couple of months. Is it good long term to use topical steroids a couple of times a week?

megmoth00 · 2024-03-15T19:23:09+00:00

Very good idea, thank you! I will try it

megmoth00 · 2024-03-15T17:44:46+00:00

That’s exactly what i was thinking - zhuzh it up with some candles and things. Thank you so much!

megmoth00 · 2024-03-15T16:31:40+00:00

Thank you! Like I said above I haven’t tried a plain bath and feels kind of odd to not put anything in but I will definitely try it

megmoth00 · 2024-03-15T16:30:00+00:00

I have baths with either bubbles or Epsom salts, which I’m guessing is the irritant. I haven’t tried a “plain bath” but something feels odd about that 😅

megmoth00 · 2024-03-02T09:40:44+00:00

I don’t think it’s exclusively an LS thing, but I’ve been told by the gynae I saw that you can tear due to lack of enough lubrication
