breast milk in eye

I was playing with her breasts and she and I both squeezed them fairly hard - some liquid/milk squirted and landed in or about my eye. A small amount (less than a drop got into my eye). I did not wash it out as I thought rubbing might make the situation worse. I also sucked her breasts and may have gotten a few drops in my mouth during that time unknowingly. I understand the eye has membranes thus my concern/panic.

Putting breast milk in the eye is great solution. My son's conjunctivitis cleared up within 24 hours of dropping milk into it.

I'd use a warm wash cloth over his eye. If that doesn't help then probably should call his peditrician. From my understanding it's pretty normal for infants.

My new born had that and I will put breast milk in a q-tip and I will clean his whole eye around it though not inside the eye and it when away breast milk does miracles

on a somewhat similar note when hayden was first born -she had lots of eye boogers - so my lactation nurse said to wipe her eyes with breast milk. weird. but i agree with Amy here!

By any chance, are you breast feeding her? Producing good milk? If so, squirt some breast milk in her eye.. your milk has natural antibodies to fight off the pink eye.. And if not, take her to her pediatrician and they'll give her antibiotics. Constantly wash your hands well. Feces particles are constantly in the air, and you'll carry them on your hands after every diaper change, so wash up well! Warm compresses of a warm towel on her eye while she sleeps will help as well.

He also said for breast feeding moms to drip breast milk in the eye. I thought I would give it a try before bed, and by morning the eye goop didn't come back and it was all better. Boob milk is magic!

Sounds gross, but I've heard if you put breast milk in their eye that it clears up almost instantly

My theory is, if breast milk is so much better for a baby than formula, then why do you need to feed a every 2 to 3 hours on breast milk and every 3 to 4 hours on formula? Breast milk is natural, so it can be deemed as "better" and easier on the babys tummy, but formula has a garenteed amount of vitamins and minerals in every serving and as a mommy, i want to make sure my baby is getting all the needed vitamins and minerals in every feeding.

I was also breastfeeding and I was told I can put a drop of breast milk in his eye and it only helped one eye the other took months until it went away

I agree with the above, and just keep an eye on it in case it turns into mastitis. You will get a red mark on your breast and feel like you're getting a fever, you'll need antibiotics. I was told to make sure when you feed baby to make sure he completely empties one breast before starting on the next. Oh, and congrats on your little boy!!! Can't wait til its my turn.

My question is, if there was an inadvertent stream of breast milk that hit me in the mouth or eye without me noticing, am I at any risk for an STD or HIV? Should I get tested? The reason I say I am unsure is because it was dark and quite warm, so I was sweating somewhat already. Is this risk less than theoretical? I'm a little worried. Thank you very much.

my doctor discontinued risperdal because it caused milk in my breast. that was june 8.......... well i still got milk in my breast.... now what?

Is it possible for milk to be in a woman's breast (right)who is not having sex....?

Since you can't get a vet until Friday, keep a very close eye on her. In fact, squeeze the nipples yourself and see what the milk looks like that comes out. As long as it's white, you're OK, but if there is any blood in the milk, take the puppies off her and start feeding them with a bottle. Blood in the milk is a sign of infection, and you don't want the puppies nursing from her if she has an infection bad enough to produce blood-streaked milk.

Basically, many women will express or pump breast milk and put it into bottles so that their baby still gets that nourishing breast milk but have the convenience of a bottle. They might want to do that if their baby has trouble latching onto the breast or if they have to be gone for a period of time and the baby still needs to eat like if they go to work or whatever takes them away for a while or if dad wants a turn to feed.

even though my milk supply was low I think it took a week and a half to dry up...you could use a breast-binder, they're supposed to help reduce the milk supply quicker and somehow reduce pain....I have no idea how long it would take if you're not breastfeeding though. just be careful because if you're taking really warm baths or showers it can cause your milk to letdown...and every time you letdown, the body will try to produce more milk....drying up really stinks, lol. Good luck....

thanks Teak, I dont want to sound a nag but how are we so sure that breast milk getting on the penis is no risk.

As I stated before, suggest giving your child the daily amounts of food that I wrote in the previous answer. If you are giving him milk as breast milk, then give it in the amounts stated. Your child is underweight and needs to grow. Food is the only way he will grow. The problem with his eye maybe only a muscular issue not diet related.

If helps your baby not get sick the first few weeks and also breast milk can heal an eye infection if the baby gets one you can put some in its eye. Your nipples absorb the babys saliva, so if baby gets sick you will make antibodies in your milk to make it better.

The only exception would be an adult who would ingest breast milk in large quantities over a very long period of time, and I highly doubt that is a situation you are in.

A bloody discharge may be caused by a noncancerous breast tumor (such as a tumor in a milk duct, called an intraductal papilloma) or, less commonly, by breast cancer. Among women who have an abnormal discharge, breast cancer is the cause in fewer than 10%. A greenish discharge is usually due to a fibroadenoma, a noncancerous solid lump. A discharge that contains pus and smells foul may result from a breast infection.

Warm water when you shower is all you need your milk has antibacterial agents to fight off germs. Breast milk is great for healing. See a lactation consultant while in the hospital to check for any latch issues if any are there. Breast milk is produced in a supply and demand. The more your baby demands the more you make. Remember once your milk regulates to your baby's needs they will not feel hard or engorged any more so don't worry.
