Oral thrush is the most common reason to use Diflucan for infants. Back to list. What is the Diflucan Infants Dosage? For oral thrush (oral candidiasis): The dose of Fluconazole is 6 mg/kg/day for the first dose and then 3 mg/kg/day for further doses. The whole course should last at least 7 days and can be given for up to 2 weeks. A 3.5 kg (about 7 1/2 pounds - 8 pounds) baby would need about 20 mg as the first dose (given just once in the day) and for the next 6-13 days would need 10 mg a day (given just once). The Diflucan oral solution comes as 40mg/ml so 20 mg is 0.5 ml and 10 mg is 0.25 ml.
