Conjuctivitis

tashyVanity by tashyVanity Crawling(November 2008) (rank 500+)

When my son was bout 2 months old he got his first stint of conjuctivitis

I tried a few creams and the conjuctivitis would go away and then come back a few days later

I asked my mother ifshe knew of any home remedies

She told me

that the best cure for conjuctivitis was breast milk

I expressd a small amount into a cup, didpped my finger in and wiped it across his eye

I repeated this a few times and left the breast milk on his eye

Need i say the conjuctivitis never came back

:)

If you are not comfortable with this or are no longer lactating, a wet tea bag wiped across the eye will also work well

Re: Conjuctivitis

 This worked for me when my children were growing up, my dear Mum told me about breast milk.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers Janice

Yes, this worked with both my girls, although the older they get the harder it is to get it in the eye LOL!

Re: Conjuctivitis

great advice, i did this with all my kids when they had conjunctivitis except i dipped cotton wool balls into the breast milk and wiped their eyes and actually squirted a little into the eyes as well.
