thanks for the link. I actually did that search myself before I posted. I read over the article but didn't notice anything about how long someone with it would still be contagious after starting meds.
I used to work in a day care center with the babies. We never had the other children get it if one happened to have it. And if I recall, the med's work rather fast with clearing it up. You have to be sure that anything that goes into the month is cleaned up really good or it would seem that the same child would get it again. I think some kids just get it and others never do. Sorta like that staph thing that is going around, some people get it and others can be around it all day and never get it.

No kissing.
And just keep washing her hands, etc. if she touches stuff ..toys, etc. You get the idea.

No kissing.
you may grin, but for my kid that's going to be difficult
she loves babies, and anyone who is not clearly an adult, is a baby.

Thrush-Cause
In otherwise healthy toddlers and older children, thrush is usually not contagious. However, a child with a weakened immune system may develop thrush by sharing infected toys or pacifiers with a child who has the infection. A child with thrush spreads the thrush fungus onto anything the child puts in his or her mouth. Another child may then get thrush by putting an infected object into his or her mouth.

Watch it
unless you plan on breastfeeding him, I think you are safe. I've never seen a kid get it from another kid. But I could be wrong.

It's not contagious. It is a yeast infection in the mouth. you will be fine going out with them.
