Have you tried any of these? Did they work for you?

Diaper Rash

Breast milk can be used to treat inflamed, red baby bottoms. Simply dab a few drops on and let air dry before putting diaper back on.

Itches & Bites

Got a mosquito bite? Dab some breast milk on — it's said to heal itches and bites quicker than commercial remedies.

Makeup Remover

Yes, makeup remover. Breast milk can be used like a cold cream to remove makeup. Apply some to a cotton ball and swipe clean as you would store-bought makeup remover. It can also be applied directly to the face.

Eczema

Breast milk can do wonders to heal dry patches of eczema, as it contains natural moisturizers. Rub a small amount onto the affected area, and it should clear up faster than it otherwise would have.

Cracked Nipples

Typically, nursing mamas use lanolin to help heal cracked and dry nipples, but breast milk may work even better. Squirt out a few drops and rub onto the affected area as often as needed.

Ear Infections

Some experts recommend parents put a few drops of breast milk in a child's ear to help clear it up faster. Simply put a few drops in every few hours. The infection may clear up quicker than with traditional antibiotics — and it's much cheaper!

Poison Ivy

Soaking a cotton ball in breast milk and applying it to poison ivy every few hours will help relieve itching.

Clogged Tear Ducts

Some moms swear by breast milk for clearing up clogged tear ducts. Apply some to a cotton ball and dab the eye area a few times a day.

Baby Acne

Using breast milk on baby acne can aid in clearing it up. Rub it on baby's face with a clean finger a few times a day and let air dry.

Burns

Some moms claim breast milk mixed with a little bit of mashed up blueberries works wonders on burns. Apply directly to the skin.
