Diaper rash: Pat breastmilk droplets onto the baby’s bottom. Make sure it dries before you put the diaper or cream.
Eczema: Both the lotion and breastmilk itself are equally effective on red, swollen, itchy and cracked skin.
Stuffy nose: Breastmilk has anti-inflammatory and anti-infective properties effective to relieve congestion and clear up the mucus. Pump some milk in a cup and use the syringe to dispense it.
Eye infection: Collect the milk with the eye dropper and a few drops will treat the infected eye.
Insect bites: There are two ways to do it. You can place a breastmilk ice cube on the affected area for a cooling relief. Or add a few breastmilk bags to some water and apply the cloudy solution.
Sore nipples: Let some droplets of breastmilk onto the nipple after breastfeeding and let it to air-dry. Breastmilk has antibiotic properties like other prescription creams and ointments.
