10 Cool Uses for Breastmilk You Probably Didn't Know About

Breastmilk was found to be an equally effective treatment for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, a.k.a. eczema, compared with hydrocortisone in a 2015 study published in the International Journal of Dermatology. The researchers estimated that half of all infants are affected by atopic eczema, which causes itchy, red, swollen and cracked skin.

Expressing a little extra with your electric pump also allows you to save an extra ounce or two each week just for therapeutic purposes. Try storing it in breast milk storage bags. Pretty cool, right?
