He & Dr. Fleiss were my peds while I had babies and, yes, they do encourage
this!  :>)

I've been wondering for some time if we need to be concerned about using
donor breastmilk for such purposes.  I know lots of people who "squirt" their
friends' eyes (and another post mentioned using milk for an elderly man's
eyes).  Seems like there could be some danger of transmitting infection.
 Comments?
