Breastmilk can benefit your whole family ;)

When I started nursing Hadley almost 15 months ago, I never thought there would be so many other uses for my breastmilk. The more I thought about how amazing it was, and the wonderful things it did for Hadley I decided to do more research on breastmilk.  Breastmilk contains millions of  live white blood cells and antibodies to fight diseases. Most mothers know about the nutritional benefits of breastmilk however the antibacterial and healing properties are often overlooked. Human milk, is a sterile solution and can be used in a variety of ways to promote healing and clean wounds. Here are some things breastmilk can treat, usually quicker and better then antibiotics or other treatments normally used: ( I have used breastmilk on most of these things and yes it works!)

• Pink Eye
• Clogged Tear Ducts
• Stuffy Nose
• Cold Sores
• Ear Infections
• Cradle Cap
• Cuts and Scrapes
• Burns
• Acne
• Cancer Treatment
• Insect Bites
• Eczema
• Diaper Rash
• Skin Rash
• Chapped or Cracked  Lips
• Sore Throat

The next time you our your baby has something that can be treated by breastmilk, give it a try. You will be so  happy that you did!!
