... ... breastmilk is not only food?
*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. Do this four or more times per day.
*Plugged eye ducts: Squirt into the eye crease at the nose. Do this
four times one day and two times the next.
*Conjunctivitis ("Pink Eye"): Same as Plugged eye ducts, but
continue with four times daily until the crust is gone.
*Sties: Same as Conjunctivitis.
*Sore/cracked nipples: Rub into nipples and air dry.
*Scratches/ Scrapes/ Burns/ Gouges: Squirt and air dry, bandage,
etc. as normal.
*Acne/ Eczema/ Diaper rash: Breast milk can help to clear up these
nasty skin disorders. All you need to do is to wash the infected
area of the skin with clean water, and then you can apply the
breast milk all over the infected area. You should then let the
milk air-dry.
*Facial Cleanser: Breast milk holds the ability to clean the skin
very well. You should apply the breast milk on the face and wipe it
clean. Believe it or not, breast milk can remove eye makeup.
*Mosquito/ Ant bites: Squirt on bite and rub in. Stops the
itching.
*Ear infections: Squirt or pour into sore ear.
*Sore Throat and Mouth Sores: Breast feed your baby if their throat
becomes sore. If you get a canker sore you can swish a little
breast milk around in your mouth for several seconds. This will
help to heal the infection.
*Stuffy noses: Squirt into nose and suction or squeeze out as you
would with saline.
*Contact lenses: If you have an irritant under your lens and forgot
your eye drops, take it out, hand express to get a nice little
stream going to rinse contact off.
*Eye puffiness and redness: You can squirt breast milk into the eye
to cure puffiness and redness.
*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: You can use breast milk to help ease the pain of
itching by using the same as you would Calamine Lotion or any other
ointment.
*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 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!
