Looking to some very respected and trusted folks on Lactnet for info re BM
to treat eye infections.

Without knowing the complete medical history of a baby in NICU, is there any
contraindication of using BM to treat an eye infection (manifests just like
conjunctivitis - green, goopy globs in the corners of babe's eye)?  This
32-weeker has been thriving on BM since birth (March 9th) and has had only
minor set-backs regarding breathing difficulties (he has Treacher-Collins
Syndrome which causes cranio-fascial abnormalities in the developing fetus).

Is BM *ever* contraindicated as an antibiotic treatment for an eye
infection?


Thanks!
Lanell
