Have you heard of the different ways you can use your breastmilk?
Of course your baby will benefit, but YOU will too! From medicine to moisturizer, breastmilk truly does it all!

Not only does it give your baby complete nutrition and immune protection, but it can also:
🍼 Soothe diaper rash & cradle cap
👀 Help with pink eye & stuffy noses
💧 Heal cuts, scrapes, and insect bites
🦷 Bring relief during teething (hello, frozen “momsicles”!)
💆‍♀️ Even care for mom’s skin, lips, and sore ni***es

Let us know about your breastfeeding journey or ways you use your supply!
