Can breast milk be dripped into the eyes

The ophthalmologist told us that breast milk has a relatively high nutritional value and contains protein, which has a certain repair effect on the corneal epithelium of the eyes. Especially when the eyes are stimulated by strong light, it often causes great harm to the cornea and even causes keratitis. At this time, dripping a few drops of milk into the cornea can help reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, and help with rapid recovery.

The magical effects of breast milk :

1. Washing the newborn's face with breast milk will make the baby's skin whiter and tenderer.

However, you need to wash off the breast milk with clean water soon after washing, because the breast milk applied on the face is very sticky, and it will cause flaking after drying, which is very uncomfortable. (Individual differences, some children may have skin allergies, so use with caution)

2. Use breast milk to drop into the eyes.

If a child has eye mucus, swollen and painful eyes, itchy eyes, or other discomfort, breast milk can be used to drop into the eyes. Using breast milk eye drops regularly can not only effectively protect the fundus, but also make the drops comfortable and without any discomfort.

3. Use breast milk nasal drops.

If you have a stuffy nose or nasal mucus due to a cold, you can use breast milk. Breast milk can soften the mucus in your nose. Just press and rub it and the mucus will come out.

How to breastfeed ?

1. Make sure the mother has rich nutrition, adequate rest, good mood and plenty of soup.

2. Start breastfeeding as soon as possible, because the baby's sucking reflex is stronger 20 to 30 minutes after birth, and this is the critical period for the baby to learn to suck.

3. When the milk supply is insufficient in the early stage of breastfeeding, especially within one month after the baby is born, you should try not to use a bottle to breastfeed, to avoid the baby having "nipple illusion" and refusing breast milk.

4. It is recommended to feed on demand. Newborn babies have small stomach capacity, so it is better to feed them small and frequent meals. The baby can be fed when he feels hungry or when the mother's breasts are swollen. There is no need to feed him at regular intervals of 3 to 4 hours. It should be noted that feeding on demand does not mean feeding the baby as soon as he cries. The baby's crying caused by factors such as temperature discomfort, wet diapers, physical discomfort, emotional needs, etc. should be eliminated to avoid developing bad habits.

5. Let the baby suck the nipple correctly so that the baby can hold most of the areola. Pressing the areola can stimulate milk secretion and outflow.

6. Take turns feeding the baby correctly to ensure comprehensive nutrition. Feeding from both breasts alternately allows the baby to get roughly equal amounts of milk from both breasts in a day. The baby can get both foremilk and hindmilk, which is nutritionally comprehensive and beneficial to the baby's growth and development.

7. In addition, breastfeeding women should fully empty their breasts to promote milk secretion.
