Sore/cracked nipples: Rub into nipples and air dry.

Burns: Same as scratches.
Gouges: Same as scratches.
Diaper rash: Squirt and air dry.
Mosquito bites: Squirt on bite and rub in. Stops the itching.
Ant bites: Same as Mosquito bites.
Ear infections: Squirt or pour into sore ear. Can follow with warm (not hot) olive oil and garlic.
Yeast infections: I don't know the logistics on this one, yet.
Acne: Wash face with water, then follow with breastmilk squirted onto a cotton (be sure it's cotton, that synthetic stuff can scratch the surface of your skin and cause problems) puff and apply all over face.
Sore throats: Anyone who will let you can be helped by a squirt of breastmilk. Either by direct squirt or if applied from a sterile plastic cup.
Stuffy noses: Squirt into nose and suction or squeeze out as you would with saline.
Sexual lubricant (male and female): (males) squirt directly onto penis; (females) hand express breast milk into a sterile cup...use as you would use KY Jelly, vaseline, or AstroGlide.
Contact lenses: If you have an irritant under your lens and forgot your eyedrops, take it out, hand express to get a nice little stream going to rinse contact off.
Eye puffiness and redness: Express breastmilk and pour over eyes. Does as good of job, if not better, than tea bags!
Breast cancer: Recent studies suggests that just the simple and natural act of breastfeeding can benefit mom as well by providing protection against breast cancer.
Tooth decay: Scientist have tried to grow bacteria in breastmilk and have been unsuccessful!
Cold sores/Fever blisters: Express a small amount of breastmilk onto clean finger and apply immediately to cold sore. Ends pain and helps speed the healing process.
Chicken pox: Use as you would Calamine Lotion or some other ointment.
Leg ulcers: Someone has claimed of hearing about a breastfeeding mother putting breastmilk on an elderly relative's unhealing leg ulcers, it cleared them up too. I don't know how long it took.
Chapped lips/skin: Express a small amount onto fingers and wipe over lips or skin. Do not rub it in...leave a little wet. (This feels great on my chapped lips and it normally only takes a day or two to clear!)
If you have an older child/spouse who is ill, give them some breastmilk. It's a great immunity boost! SURVEY: Does your husband like the taste of breastmilk?

"Sigh...............Breastmilk.
It soothes, it comforts, it feeds, it puts to sleep, it heals
skin, burns, scratches, and owies. And, it relaxes
an upset mom who badly needs a tranquilizer."
- Marnie, tandem nursing mom to a son (4yo) and a daughter (2.5yo).
