  have a look on the nhs site for your local walk in center, you can then see a doc and shouldn't have to wait too long if you say you want lo to see someone too. best to get it sorted today if it's effecting feeding.

  My lo and I have had this a couple of times and I rang the GP and they prescribed over the phone. I was given canestan 1% for me and lo had nystatin then daktarin. You could get the canestan from a pharmacist but I think you would be better checking with your GP first as you lo will need treatment too which will need a prescription. As lisajoy said, it is important as it's affecting feeding, I didn't realise what it was to start with and didn't know why my lo wasn't eating properly.
  
  My hv also suggested washing bras at 60 to destroy the thrush and changing beast pads at least 4 times a day. Hope this helps and you get it sorted, xxx
