Can breast milk drops in the eyes reduce inflammation?

Many people know that breast milk is the best food for babies. Exclusive breastfeeding is the best feeding method. And breast milk is also said to have many benefits in treating diseases, such as eye diseases. Many people use breast milk to drop their eyes. So can breast milk drip into the eyes? What should be paid attention to when exclusively breastfeeding?

1. Can breast milk be dropped into the eyes?

I have encountered several cases of using breast milk to clean eyes to treat eye diseases, but this is usually done for adults or the elderly. For children, I suggest not to do this for now. Because the nerves around the eyes of babies are very sensitive, if foreign objects get into the eyes, the baby will feel very uncomfortable.

2. Common problems with exclusive breastfeeding

1. Breast care: If the expectant mother decides to exclusively breastfeed, she should start protecting her breasts before pregnancy, pay attention to massage when bathing, wear a loose bra to avoid compression of the mammary glands and cause blockage. If there are problems such as nipple stuffing, you can consult a doctor and correct it as soon as possible.

In addition, the mother's nipples should always be kept clean to avoid nipple and breast diseases. If the posture and method are correct when raising it in the future, there will actually be no big problem. After feeding the baby every time, if the baby does not suck the breasts empty, it is reasonable to use a manual breast pump to suck out the excess breast milk. This is not a waste. Emptying the breasts can promote the secretion of milk in large quantities, relieve the pain of milk swelling for new mothers, and has a health-care effect on breast health.

2. Develop breast milk as soon as possible: Generally speaking, 30 minutes after giving birth, even though the new mother has not yet developed breast milk and there may not be enough breast milk in the breast, you should still try to let the baby suck the breast to cultivate the baby's habit of sucking the breast as soon as possible. Otherwise, the baby may resist the mother's breast in the future.

3. Don’t throw away colostrum: The milk secreted by the mother within five days after giving birth is called colostrum. Some mothers think that colostrum is "dirty" or that it has no nutritional value and is simply thrown away, which is unacceptable. In fact, colostrum is the essence of nutrients, containing the highest amount of immune factors and cell growth factors, which can enhance the baby's immunity and promote the baby's growth and development. Therefore, you should feed your baby as he/she is hungry within five days after giving birth, and give your baby as much nutrition as possible.

4. Pay attention to insufficient breast milk: When the mother's milk supply is insufficient, the breasts are often not swollen before feeding, the baby swallows less sound during feeding, the child sleeps short and is restless after weaning, often cries and makes a fuss, and the weight does not increase or increases slowly. At this time, the mother needs to find the reasons and correct them in many aspects.

5. It is harmful for babies to fall asleep while drinking milk: Do not let babies fall asleep with the nipple in their mouths. This is not only unhygienic, but also easy to cause suffocation and vomiting. It will also affect the growth of the baby's tooth roots and cause deformities.
