When
I got hospitalized last year, my doctor told me to “pump and dump” because of
the medicines that I took. One very wise
woman named Nanay Nona told me otherwise.
If you haven’t met or heard about Nanay Nona Andaya, she is the only
non-doctor in the Philippines who passed the accreditation for International
Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC).
She told me to NEVER dump my milk because it can be used for treating
several problems.
Breastmilk
is not only for feeding babies and toddlers.
They contain anti-bacterial and healing properties that is suitable for people
of all ages. So I saved the milk that I pumped. Until one day when I saw my son scratching his
arm like crazy. When I checked, I saw
red bumps in his arm that looked irritated.
I then remembered Nanay Nona. I thought
this is the perfect time to try how effective my milk is.

Everyday in the next 4 days I did nothing but apply breastmilk on the infected area at least
twice a day. Each day I notice something different. He is less irritated. The area started to lighten and eventually all the rashes disappeared.
Now it's confirmed. I am a supermom and I have a super healing power! A-MAZING!!
Wow! This is amazing! Too bad I don't know have breast milk anymore :( But thanks for sharing. At least we know how effective bm are.
ReplyDeleteang galing nga eh. after that incident, everytime my son has a mosquito bite, he'd say "lagay mommy milk"
DeleteI got the same experience with my little boy on his first three months. He has rashes all throughout his face and my mom told me to apply bm and it worked! The rashes disappeared on the 3rd day.
ReplyDeleteat andami pa talagang uses ung BM
DeleteThe wonders of breast milk! Ang galing. I'll share your story to my mommy friends in the light of reliving rashes on their babies or household :)
ReplyDeletethank you. i used my milk in my allergies too!
DeleteAnything natural is really good! Congrats to Super Momma!
ReplyDeleteyup and i love everything that's free! lol
DeleteI used to do this too when I was breastfeeding! And I never did follow the pump and dump too when I am sick. I actually nurse my son even if I am sick and amazingly, he never gets whatever virus I was having.
ReplyDeletei was hospitalized for two weeks kasi and im too weak to even argue. turns out the meds i took when i was there are all safe. sayang ung milk.
DeleteThat's truly ahmazing! Good job super mom!
ReplyDeletethank you.
DeleteWow! Amazing indeed! natural anti-bacterial effect!
ReplyDeleteyes. its all natural.
DeleteWhat an amazing story and the best part is that you recorded it for proof... Who knew? The magic of breast milk. :-)
ReplyDeleteEliz
naaliw lang talaga ako. and i wanted to see how effective it is. my hubby was even amazed with it din.
DeleteAs a breastfeeding advocate I super loved this post. My sammie had rashes on her left cheek when she was a month old and it was gone after 2 days! -------Hmmmm pwede ko kaya gwing bubblebath ang breastmilk ko?=p Just kidding=)
DeleteLife has a way of providing... we just have to know that they are already given to us. Kudos to you for continuing to breastfeed.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've heard of the medicinal value of mother's milk. :) We moms are superhumans you know :D
ReplyDeletePretty cook. I did not know it has those properties.
ReplyDeleteWow, I think I've dumped a lot when I was still breastfeeding. This is the only time I've learned that it has other medicinal value. Indeed you're a SUPER MOMMA! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's really so amazing! I was told before that it does wonder to the face when used to wash the face. I just never did get to try it coz I didn't want any of the milk to go to waste.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one. I just heard that when you have sore eyes, breastmilk can be used to cure it too. You are really a supermom!
ReplyDeleteBreast milk can heal rashes. I can attest to that too. We are so powerful no? Hehe.
ReplyDeleteMommy Maye
I haven't tried this but when i was younger my aunt usually put her breast milk into my eyes kung may sore eyes ako.. it works naman for me..
ReplyDeletecoolness! this so nice! breastmilk is so powerful
ReplyDeletewow amazing! I never thought of this. thanks for the info super mommy tyna.. :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing nga! If you had dumped it, sayang talaga. Go super mom! :)
ReplyDeleteI will try Applying BM on my daughter's arm. She has rashes just like what your son have. The pedia prescribed using physiogel cream anti inflammatory cream which costs almost 600 pesos. So expensive.
