Jack,

  Ina May Gaskin of The Farm mentions using breastmilk this way in one of her
books (don't remember which one) and I know several women who have used
breastmilk so loosen mucous in their infants nose before suctioning, as well
as using breastmilk to clear up eye infections, sooth a child's eye after he
accidently squirted taco sauce in it, to clear up an ear infection (used for
both the baby and mom), the possibilities seem endless.
