How Do You Make Alternate Use Of Breast Milk?
It’s well documented that breastfeeding is the single best thing you can do for your infant’s health, and has a significant positive impact on your own as well. Credited for reducing the rates of everything from the common cold to cancer, breast milk truly is an amazing substance. In addition to your baby’s primary source of nutrition, you can make many alternate uses of breast milk, as its healing properties extend beyond just infant and toddler feeding. Step 1 Pump or hand-express some breast milk. You can store it in the refrigerator up to 8 days, in a regular freezer up to 6 months, and in a deep freezer up to 12 months. Step 2 Drop some milk in irritated eyes using a needless syringe or medicine dropper. This works for infected or plugged tear ducts, pink eye, sties and ophthalmologic allergies (watery eyes). You can also use for contact solution on soft, hard, or gas permeable lenses, or use it in place of or in addition to tea bags or cucumbers to soothe red, puffy, tired eyes.
