Hello and yes, I tell mothers that they can express a little breastmilk (even a bit into a teaspoon will do) and use a new, clean ear-dropper to drip a couple of drops into each nostril. I always get such positive feed-back afterwards regarding the outcome as well as baby's comfort level: almost no crying when breastmilk is used as opposed to drops of any other kind.
Warm regards,

Hello
Does any one on Lactnet, encourage mothers to use their breast milk to treat their babies when they are snuffly, instead of normal saline?
