breast milk as a healing serum....

[mommyhav]

my baby has a cold and one eye is all watery and red.....is it true that breast milk can heal things like that? a friend of mine said someone told her that. does anyone have an experience to share?

 

[krockwell]

my MIL told me that when her boys were young, they had a goobery eye - and her friends baby had a goobery eye as well...

The friend went to the Dr and got a prescription for something to help clear it up

she used breast milk and put it in their eye...

Apparently the prescription took at least 4-5 days to clear it up
her boys eyes were cleared up within a day or 2...

Yup, I've used it on all sorts. It's magic.

My LO had a watery eye last week, and my sister told me to use breast milk and i did for a couple of days and it started clearing up but went to the doctors about it anyway and she laughed at me when i said i was using breastmilk to clear it and said it was ridiculous and just to use cooled down boiled water. So i did that and Bella STILL has a watery eye, so i've switched back to breast milk today and it's looking a lot better...

I used breastmilk only on Theos eye that was very icky after birth, I was told the prescription stuff would take a week, with BM it was 100% clear by the morning of the third day. I also used BM on his baby acne, it cleared up really quickly.

My health visitor recommends breastmilk as a cure-all too. I sometimes use it for nappy rash and it works quite well.

Ella had terrible nappy rash that wouldn't go at all, I tried allsorts of creams, changed nappies, changed wipes, etc and nothing worked, then I tried breastmilk about 2 weeks ago and by the next nappy change it her nappy rash had cleared loads and she's not had it at all since! I am so impressed!

Breastmilk rocks!
