We have been battling Thrush for the last year on and off. Our daughter just turned 1 which is suppose to be when they stop getting it, but went to the doctor yesterday and she has it now. I can smell a yeasty smell when she has it, long before I see the white spots. Since she got the first outbreak, we sterilize her bottles, cups, nipples, pacys, anything she puts in her mouth. Of course we still get it. If you give him Tylenol or anything with a medicine dropper, don't put it back in the medicine once it has touched his mouth, or you can contaminant the medicine. We learned this the hard way the first time around. The good thing is that most of the time it is just aggravating for the parents and not the babies. I hope your little one feels better soon. Oh and if you ever have to use nebulizers he will be more prone to it for some reason. At least that is what our Pediatrician said, and our daughter did get it once when she was on her neb.
Hope this helps a little.
