I have always used milk for my children's eyes, and even put drops in the eyes of our pet cats a time or two.  I didn't realize that it could be used in the nose until my youngest was stuffed up at a conference that was being held next to a room where people were smoking.  One of the editors of Compleat Mother was there and suggested it.  I also used it on cuts and scrapes and for chapped or dry skin.  My third baby's cheeks were always dry and chapped unless I kept after them constantly.  I rubbed some milk into them every time he nursed.  I tell people about it all the time. I wish there was a way to keep lactating just slightly, to always have a source of a few drops for such things!
