Parents  in NZ use either saline, directly from the plastic ampule - a handy
dropper  - or breast milk. It's warm,  sterile , full of white blood cells
etc  - and it clears out that snot well.


Would this be true for an older baby with a cold?   To use breast milk to 
help clear the sinus passages?  My 17 mos old has a  mild cold/possibly allergies 
and has a lot of clear mucous.  Am thinking of  trying some breast milk to 
clear her up, or is this unsafe for some  reason?  
 
Thanks for another "helpful hint" with breastmilk  :)
