I posted a couple of weeks ago on a co-worker who had just weaned her
toddler and was accidentally doused with formaldehyde at work.  She had a
rash all over from the exposure and was taking benadryl and using
hydrocortisone cream with no improvement.  She took my suggestion to express
some breastmilk and apply it to the rash and she said it worked wonders!

 

Regarding Ross giving out copies of MMM:  it's actually to their benefit to
have women continue to breastfeed instead of being told by their HCP to stop
so they can take a medication.  If breastfeeding is interrupted the mother
is at risk for early weaning.  They know that breastfeeding mothers are more
likely to continue to use their product throughout the first year so it's
good business to provide MMM.

mousepads and Similac commercials on the patient channel.
