Miraculous Breast Milk!

Just thought we could share someof the other uses we've discovered for breat milk here - we know how amazing it is for our babies growth and development...

I found that expressed breast milk was the BEST cure for infant eye irritations - I just hand expressed it right into my daughter's eyes and VOILA!! Surprised her a little bit though

Also, I refrigerated a small bottle of EBM and used the creamy stuff that rose to the top to treat diaper rash - I spread it on her after cleaning, let it air dry and within an hour or so the rash was improved - it only took about three applications to get rid of the rash entirely. SHe rarely had diaper rash (like most BF babies) but when she did I had the cheapest and most effective cure I have ever used right at my fingertips!

Looking forward to hearing about your discoveries...

My Prius can go 400 miles on 4 oz EBM!

(Kidding. :lol: )

(And even if it could I'd rather save the EBM for the babies! )

 

It's the best nipple cream ever. For me it works better than lanolin, and you don't get all greasy - just rub a little milk around your nipple and let it air dry.

I've also heard the one about eye infections - my sister did that. I've heard that it's good on little cuts & scratches. Apparently it has a natural antibacterial property.

 

Yup, it can serve as an antibiotic ointment!
And great for ear infections!

 

I actually read that you could drop it into babies' noses to help clear up stuffiness! not sure if this is true or not, but my girls are stuffy so i may just have to try it.

:rofl:

 

Do you think it could help my twin skin???Possibly improve elasticity or get rid of the stretch marks????

 

I've read about it being given to cancer patients that can't tolerate other food. That's one of the uses for donated/banked BM.

 

I just read that scientists have discovered stem cells in breastmilk. You don't get THAT in formula!

 

It is given to transplant patients to aide in the process!!

 

It works as a really good shelac! Want shinny tables, just put EBM on it... a nice shiny, hard coat!

One of my friends metioned this one... Rub it into babies' scalp for cradle cap!

AND on babies' skin for baby acne!
