A warm bath not only calms and soothes a baby, but can treat a yeast infection. Pour a cup of apple cider vinegar into a running bath to alleviate a baby's itching and discomfort. This can be done every day for a week or until symptoms stop. Aloe vera has many natural healing agents and anti-fungal properties to calm, heal and prevent yeast infections from recurring in babies. Apply aloe vera to the infected area two to three times a day, until the infection clears. A baby can also consume a bottle of aloe vera juice every day for a week. Yogurt contains probiotics, or healthy bacteria, which can fight yeast in a baby. Apply a cup of yogurt on a baby's bottom to soothe the infection. Babies who are six months and older can consume a cup or more of yogurt a day to treat a yeast infection. Hope this helps :) Good luck! I hope that your little one feels better soon!
