Breast milk is the best remedy

I had my first baby and decided long ago to nurse exclusively. I knew all the great health benefits of it from the blogs, internet and my doctor. When my baby was about 3 weeks old I noticed that she had a blocked tear duct. I read up that you need to massage this and it will go away. As I told my sister in law who grew up in Mexico she mentioned putting a little of my breast milk in her eye. I could NOT believe it, she must be crazy. By the end of the week I had 5 other people tell me the SAME thing. So I tried it and my baby's eye cleared up.
At two months she had a stuffy nose- again the breast milk was brought up as the cure all- tried it and worked.
I'm not saying that I believe 100% that it works, I did use modern medicine as well. I will say that breast feeding my baby has helped her get over any sickness she may have had. It is the best remedy!!!!!
