Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This stuff is the ONLY thing that has solved our yeast mastitis. After 4 rounds of Fluconazole for me and 3 rounds of Nystatin for baby, our lactation consultant recommended the GV along with probiotics and grapefruit seed extract, and I can finally breastfeed without searing pain. Yes, this stuff can be messy. I take several precautions using it to make sure my whole life doesn't turn purple: 1) strip. Both baby and mamma. 2) lay an old towel on the bed where you plan to apply and nurse. 3) rub olive oil or coconut oil in and around baby's mouth before applying to your nipples and feeding baby. It will help baby from being too purple. Rub more oil when you switch sides. 4) set everything up before you start, and make sure your area is clear of anything that might knock the bottle over (other items on the table, other kids, pets). I put a washcloth in a wide, shallow bowl so if the bottle does tip over, the liquid will be contained. I use a disposable nursing pad to put the top and my used q-tips inside the bowl to minimize the places liquid can travel. 5) wipe as you go. Keep a rag nearby so you can wipe baby's cheeks as he/she nurses. My baby likes to rub her face everywhere, so the GV tends to go places other than her mouth. If you wipe it off quickly (and use the oil as noted above), this minimizes the purple staining. 6) put the cap back on ASAP! 7) if you need to dress baby after, put him/her in something you don't care about (e.g. A white onesie that is a dime a dozen). Baby will surely put his/her fingers in mouth after, or drool, and the GV will get on clothing. Alternatively, do it right before bed and swaddle to keep hands away. I haven't had a spill yet, and anything I've stained, it's been totally worth it, because this stuff has kept me breastfeeding.
