Breastmilk is amazing!
« on: January 11, 2006, 17:23:40 pm »
i have read all the bits about how good breastfeeding is for you , the baby etc but have just discovered something else very cool!
my ds has just started nursery and got pink eye (conjunctivitis ?spelling?) and a community paediatric speacialist nurse i work with said that breast milk can help to clear this infection because its full of antibodies  :shock: .  even better, when the conjuntivitis is viral (which happens SO often as little ones rub snot into their eyes!) there is nothing medical they can do!!!
i was just at the GP, she confirmed this!
last night, i squirted some bm into Ethan's eye and today he isn't nearly so gunky, i think it looks better!  just wanted to share that with you all in the hope that it will help out somone else's lo too!  :D

That's great. It truly is amazing stuff. I got a stye on my eye a few weeks after my dd was born (I would keep on getting them I think from lack of sleep and stress) anyways I would put a little EBM on my eye and it would be gone later that night or the next morning. :)

Cool that it actually works though.
