9 Amazing Alternative Uses for Your Liquid Gold – Your Breastmilk

Your pediatrician told you about it. The famous Dr. Sears and the nursing moms of the blogging world have talked about it, too. We, at SaviMom, know about breastmilk and its medicinal uses too. Breast is best and breastmilk is the best milk. Breastmilk is more than just a thirst-quenching liquid. It has the complete nutrition your baby needs. Breast milk’s component adjusts according to the nutritional needs of your child. What is more, breastmilk has also several other purposes apart from being a nutritious food.

This multi-purpose liquid gold can cure a pink eye, eczema, inflammation and bug bites. Yes, they’re that good. This all-natural treatment is free and you have an unlimited supply of it.  Let’s take a further look at what your potent milk can do.

1.       Stings and insect bites. Breastmilk’s antibacterial properties can reduce itching of insect bites and promote fast healing of stings.

2.       Pink eye, red eyes. Just squirt some onto the eye of your child and wait for minor conjuctivitis to heal. This all-natural treatment is guaranteed safe. If you notice insect bites on sensitive areas of your child’s body, breastmilk is a chemical-free treatment that you can easily and instantly apply.

3.       Sore and cracked nipples. The moisturizing property of breastmilk is perfect for treating sore and cracked nipples. Rub breastmilk on your areola and air dry.

4.       Eczema. Breastmilk can moisturize skin. Its antimicrobial and antiseptic properties can heal and relieve itchiness of rashes and contact dermatitis.

5.       Sunburn. Pat expressed breastmilk onto sunburn to ease pain and promote healing.

6.       Cuts and scrapes. You don’t have to subject your newborn baby’s skin to chemically-laden antiseptic products. In case your baby’s skin has been scratched by a toy, apply expressed breastmilk to the cut or scrape and let its natural antiseptic property soothe and heal. 

7.       Cradle Cap. Oh yes, it’s true. Massage breastilk onto your newborn’s scalp and see how easily and safely you can get rid of cradle cap.

8.       Beauty product for Mom. Once in the life of a busy nursing mom, she might forget her huge stash of expressed milk. So what to do with the expired ones? Don’t give it to your kid but don’t throw it away just yet. Feel free to use it on yourself as a beauty product. Use it to wash your face or remove make-up.  Use it as a body wash or a milk soak or scrub for your DIY hand or foot spa. Take advantage of the abundance of antibodies present in breastmilk. If you had a fun night with friends and you had several drinks, do not pump and dump. If you had too many drinks and you feel you can’t feed your pumped milk to your child, save it for yourself instead.

9.       Ear infection. Do you suspect your baby has an ear infection? Start nursing, wait for the let-down and shoot. Ear pain is a serious problem and breast milk is a natural, effective, safe, and chemical-free solution.

Your boob juice can nourish a life so there’s no doubt it can also do wonders even on the superficial aspects of living.  It’s a gift to moms and children and families so take full advantage of what it offers. Breastmilk’s disinfecting, healing, and moisturizing properties are unrivaled by any commercial and chemically-formulated medical drugs. So the next time there’s a health concern at home, don’t panic.
