Thrush treatment with Nystatin?

Me and my 3 week old daughter have been diagnosed with thrush. For treatment we’ve been prescribed Nystatin. I’m not currently breastfeeding I’m pumping and bottle feeding. I’m putting her liquid oralNystatin on my nipples but I’m going to start using grapefruit seed extract. My question is how to give her the Nytatin. I’m supposed to put 1 ml on the inside of each cheek 4 times a day so every 6 hours, however thats hard with a 3 week old. A lot of doses are more than 6 hours apart due to her feeding and a lot of times I’ll give it to her and then she eats. Isn’t it pointless to give it to her and she eats soon after? Also should I be squirting it inside of her cheeks or swabbing it around her mouth? How long should I start seeing results in her mouth? We’ve been treated for 48 hours, I can tell a difference in my nipples but not in her mouth.
My son had thrush 4 times. It can be difficult to get rid of.
Along with giving her the 1 ml on each side of her cheek, you can also take a cotton swab of the nystatin and swab the inside of her mouth, in cheeks, roof of mouth, tongue. This will help rid it faster.
Do not use pacifiers when baby has thrush because the thrush will live in the pacifier (even if boiled).
Boil all bottle nipples and toys that baby puts in mouth. If toy cannot be boiled wash it with vinegar.
You will notice a change in mouth in about a week and a half.
Or you could go buy Gentian Violet, available at wall-mart pharmacy (may have to order and will be there next day) for about $2. I finally did this after thrush came back the 4th time. There is alot of controversy over Gentian Violet because it may cause cancer if used in high doses for extended periods (basically if you drink 5 bottles of it everyday for 2 years) but you apply it once!!!
Take cotton swab of gentian violet and PAINT the entire inside of baby’s mouth, everything should be purple, cheeks, lips, gums, tongue, roof of mouth. This will stain everything. Next, paint your nipples.
It will wear off naturally (don’t scrub off nipples just let it wear off) it will wear off as your baby drinks over the next day. When the purple is gone so is the thrush. One application, one day, all gone.

ohhh god thrush! its sooo annoying, me and my 5 month old had it and they gave us nystatin, for over a week it didnt work at all. then they gave us swabs to spread it in her mouth. so yea i would do that. then they gave us that other stuff with a D i think…idk but that kinda worked she still had a little white in the mouth eventually it went away by itself. also try giving it to her everytime after she eats, or every other time after she eats depending on how far apart her feedings are. it doesnt matter if she doesnt swallow it obviouslytry waashing all her stuff in vinegar too, clothes and everything that comes in contac t with spit up or anything. pacifires too.thrush is sooooo annoying. good luck.ohh yea the reason nystatin doesnt work all the time for babies is because it has sugar in it. thrush thrive on sugar. and i heard for it to really help the baby u have to use it like a lot
