Coconut oil as an antifungal?

💞09/23/16💞

I was doing research online and I read Antifungal cream – one common breastfeeding problem is thrush. This condition can affect both you and the baby, as the infection passes between the two of you. Thrush can leave your nipples sore, itchy and cracked. Coconut oil is antifungal, and can actually be used to treat thrush.

I've never heard of Coconut oil being antifungal, if so that would be amazing especially since Coconut oil has the added benefit of being safe for baby, so there’s no need to wash it off before the next feed.

They say don't believe everything you read online so I was wondering if anyone has heard or read this before?
