Guest guest Posted March 21, 1999 Report Share Posted March 21, 1999 and Everyone, Thank you for your responses. I did put breastmilk on my eyes last night and it seemed to help a lot. I will try again today. It seems to vary day to day how intense it is. The breastmilk instantly took the itch away and it didn't come back until the milk was completely dry. I am going to keep putting it on all day. Thanks again. Wendi Re: eczema I may be crazy, but I try putting expressed breastmilk on things first before I go to the store or the clinic. Since it has anti-microbial/infective properties, it would help keep it from getting worse. Since it has anti-inflammatory properties, it should help with swelling. Since it has lipids, it would be soothing, and should help dissolve crusty mucus build-up. Since it's sterile, it should be safe, even it gets in your eyes. Since it's readily available, it should be easy to use, and very inexpensive (free!). Many other countries use breastmilk as " medicine " by the way. Try expressing a little bit, like a half-teaspoon into a medicine cup. Use your fingers, or moisten a cotton swab and apply it to you skin. Moist wound healing is supposed to be best anyways. There was a research project earlier this year about expressed breastmilk applied to the vagina of women with chlamydia that absolutely killed the bacteria... since then, I've tried it on lots of our family " owies " with incredible results!! It even did better than bacitracin in my home experiment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 1999 Report Share Posted March 21, 1999 After I weaned my daughter I had small drops of milk in my breasts for almost two years. I thought it would never leave. Wendi Re: eczema I've been thinking of doing the same thing, but I've heard lots of moms say that they could express a few drops for many months, and years, after they've weaned. And I really hate pumping! lol What do you save your small amounts in? I've heard that glass or hard white plastic containers are best for long term storage of milk, plus, even in a deep freezer, it would only be good for about 6 months... Maybe you could convince *someone* else in your family to help you keep up a tiny bit of milk after you wean?! lol At 12:50 PM 3/21/99 , you wrote: >From: j.ham@... > >I may be crazy, but I try putting expressed breastmilk on things first >>before I go to the store or the clinic. > >Breastmilk works great on all cuts scratches--I am always amazed at how >quickly things heal with Breast milk on them.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 1999 Report Share Posted March 21, 1999 , Thanks it is bothering me. I am going to try everything natural before I go to a dermatologist. Wendi Re: eczema From: Mparker90@... Oh Wendi, How I feel for you. That can be bothersome! I tried to get rid of some eczema once and it was difficult. I resorted to going to a dermatologist...the traditional way I guess. He gave me some cream and it went away quickly. I have a friend who has a fairly ongoing case of eczema. I will ask her if she has any tricks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ideas on how we can improve ONElist? http://www.onelist.com Check out the Suggestion Box feature on our new web site ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Breastfeeding is Best!! http://www.mariaann.com/breastfeeding.htm If you like this list also check out http://www.onelist.com/subscribe.cgi/weanedbuddies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 1999 Report Share Posted March 21, 1999 The miraculous breastmilk. Don't forget about this " home remedy " when your babies are older... it also works wonders on " imaginary " owies... But for the older ones, you might want to express your milk out of sight... it loses its charm when the kids know where it comes from somehow! lol At 05:06 PM 3/21/99 , you wrote: > and Everyone, > >Thank you for your responses.
