I just found a great article about all the ailments that are helped by breast milk.
Breast milk helps heals all this:
- scrapes, cuts, and burns
- acne
- ear and eye infections
- pinkeye
- eye redness
- cold sores
- diaper rash
- cleans contact lenses
I mentioned a few of these uses in this recent post, but Michelle’s list is much more extensive.
Did you know you can use breast milk to wash off debris on contact lenses ? I’ve done that once.
I have had a really sore throat for days now, and yesterday I finally went to the doctor and she wants me to take antibiotics. Isn’t that always the first thing they throw at you? Sorry, I’m not going to take antibiotics for a sore throat if it’s not strep throat.
So instead I pumped a little breast milk and drank it. My throat already feel a lot better. Too bad I didn’t think to do that before I went to the doctor.
