When Ethan was first born, he got an infected tear duct. His bottom eye lid was red and puffy, so I called my Doula (who should write a book about these things!) and she said to drop a few drops of breastmilk in it and it would clear up in a day or so. And that is exactly what happened. This stuff is loaded! Breastmilk sterilizes, heals, and provides baby with the perfect meal every time he/she nurses.
This webpage has more info/uses for breastmilk (though I will admit that I flinched at a few of them:

psalm kept tugging at her ear- and this lasted about a week- & she wasn't acting sick so i didn't worry about it. When i read the article about the uses for breastmilk- it recommended putting breastmilk in the ear- so i decided to do it just in case she has an ear infection- and she stopped tugging at her ear!!! They need to sell breastmilk over the counter!! lol. thanks for sharing!!!
