BreastMilk Does Every Body Good

Ross: " I just don't think breast milk is for adults..."
Chandler: "of course the packaging does appeal to adults and kids alike."

I would like to thank the women of Parent-L and the rad_mamas and any else who helped for all their help and encouragement in making this page! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Eye infections: Squirt in an open or closed eye. If the eye is closed have the person lie back, squirt it, then open his or her eye. 4 times or more per day.

Plugged eye ducts: Squirt into the eye crease at the nose. Do this 4 times one day and 2 times the next.

Conjuctivitis ("Pink Eye"): Same as Plugged eye ducts, but continute with 4 times daily until the crust is gone.

Sties: Same as Conjunctivitis.

Sore/cracked nipples: Rub into nipples and air dry.

Scratches: Squirt and air dry, bandage, etc. as normal.

Scrapes: Same as scratches.

Burns: Same as scratches.

Gouges: Same as scratches.

Diaper rash: Squirt and air dry.

Mosquito bites: Squirt on bite and rub in. Stops the itching.

Ant bites: Same as Mosquito bites.

Ear infections: Squirt or pour into sore ear. Can follow with warm (not hot) olive oil and garlic.

Yeast infections: I don't know the logistics on this one, yet.

Acne: Wash face with water, then follow with breastmilk squirted onto a cotton (be sure it's cotton, that synthetic stuff can scratch the surface of your skin and cause problems) puff and apply all over face.

Sore throats: Anyone who will let you can be helped by a squirt of breastmilk. Either by direct squirt or if applied from a sterile plastic cup.

Stuffy noses: Squirt into nose and suction or squeeze out as you would with saline.

Sexual lubricant (male and female): (males) squirt directly onto penis; (females) hand express breast milk into a sterile cup...use as you would use KY Jelly, vaseline, or AstroGlide.

Contact lenses: If you have an irritant under your lens and forgot your eyedrops, take it out, hand express to get a nice little stream going to rinse contact off.

Eye puffiness and redness: Express breastmilk and pour over eyes. Does as good of job, if not better, than tea bags!

Breast cancer: Recent studies suggests that just the simple and natural act of breastfeeding can benefit mom as well by providing protection against breast cancer.

Tooth decay: Scientist have tried to grow bacteria in breastmilk and have been unsuccessful!

Cold sores/Fever blisters: Express a small amount of breastmilk onto clean finger and apply immediately to cold sore. Ends pain and helps speed the healing process.

Chicken pox: Use as you would Calamine Lotion or some other ointment.

Leg ulcers: Someone has claimed of hearing about a breastfeeding mother putting breastmilk on an elderly relative's unhealing leg ulcers, it cleared them up too. I don't know how long it took.

Chapped lips/skin: Express a small amount onto fingers and wipe over lips or skin. Do not rub it in...leave a little wet. (This feels great on my chapped lips and it normally only takes a day or two to clear!)

If you have an older child/spouse who is ill, give them some breastmilk. It's a great immunity boost!

SURVEY: Does your husband like the taste of breastmilk? Please email your responses directly to me! Yes, he does or No, he doesn't. Results will be posted as I get responses! Thank you!

"Sigh...............Breastmilk.

It soothes, it comforts, it feeds, it puts to sleep, it heals skin, burns, scratches, and owies. And, it relaxes
an upset mom who badly needs a tranquilizer."
- Marnie, tandem nursing mom to a son (4yo) and a daughter (2.5yo).
