Breast Milk

Just happen to come across a young mother's blog.
And I got to know abt the many functions & benefits of breast milk.
How cool is that?
LOL.
Saw one of the pointers stated that breast milk can remove eye make-up?
Seriously?
Gosh. This can seriously save a thousand billion years of spending all the money on a tiny bottle of eye make-up remover!!!
The blogger even stated that 'breastfeeding moms had confirm that most of the following uses of breastmilk is true'.
Remedy Remedy Remedy!!


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 for 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!


This is incredibly amazing!!! =)
