I just went threw this. I did the vinegar/water solution and swabbed my nipples as often as I could. If you wear breast pads be sure they stay dry. I also was taking garlic and probiotics three times a day to up my good bacteria to fight off the yeast. It cleared up within a week. I also swabbed a baking soda/water solution in my baby's mouth....she did have a white patch in her mouth and that cleared up within the week too. I hope this helps.
