    Lightbulb Breastmilk on Eyes

    Did you know that we have a lot of remedies on curing puffy eyes or pink eyes. Arizona eye care said that, breast milk does appear to have healing properties that can prove beneficial when it comes to treating minor illnesses and injuries. This is because of the antibodies that breast milk contains. Just as breast milk provides your baby with necessary antibodies to fight off infection, it can also work to kill off bacteria and viruses when applied topically to problem areas.

    Works on viral pink eye.

    While in the service, we had some nasty EKC in Southeast Asia that took a good two weeks to resolve. This was the 1980's before we would use steroids.

    Locals said to use mother's milk, and it was gone in 3 days instead of 14.

    Interesting. I'm actually going to tell my daughter in law to try this on the baby who seems to have a blocked tear duct. Perhaps every opthalmologist needs to have a lactating mother on staff just in case.

    A stranger's breast milk in your kid's eyes? Hmmm, something tells me this won't be very popular unless the father gets to attend the appointment.

    Love is a duet, each voice complementing each other and making them sound better than they would alone, each voice at times stepping back and letting the other shine. We've got a pretty good duet going Tina.

    On April 28th, I'll be marrying my best friend. I can't wait!
