Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yes, that is a bit of an odd heading but I have had this question swimming around in my mind for a couple of months now and it has just occured to me that someone in this group might have some advice. I have a 6 year old ASD son and a 10month old daughter who is still breast feeding, every now and again the thought has crossed my mind about whether I should see if expressing and giving my son breast milk on a daily basis makes any difference. All the health advisors go on about its benefits, and I recall my daughter having quite a severe eye infection when she about 3 months old but I had to wait for the swab results before they would prescribe anything for it, however I was told in meantime to put a couple of drops of breast milk into each eye every time I cleaned them as it had a natural antibiotic effect, in less than 24 hours her eyes had cleared up. I only breast fed my son for the first five weeks of his life and he was on antibiotics at three weeks old for a chest infection. I hope to keep my daughter going until 12 months but she is starting to self wean now so I would need to make a decision on whether to give it a go quite soon. I wondered if anyone else had tried or heard of anyone else doing it and whether it made any difference? Thank you, Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
