Rahnny is right. That's what nursing mothers are told to do if their babies

get the Crypt Creature disease. It's sterile and has all them lovely antibodies

in them. ;-)

I'm sorry your daughter had such a rough time during the birth. I'm glad all

is better now...

 

I hadn't thought about mixing the hydrosol with the tea.... Having thought

about it, it wouldn't do any harm, on the other hand I see no added benefits

either... Keep 'em seperate! At least that's what I would do.

 

Hope you get better soon.

I woke up this morning with a case of pink eye. Went to medical doctor (aka

" quack " ) who said it was a " viral " infection, not bacterial (he did not

elaborate on differences between viral and bacterial). Said it would take up to

a week to clear up; may go into other eye before it goes away. Did give me an Rx

for drops because we are going into a weekend, but I am not to fill the Rx

unless symptoms get worse because drops may make things worse. Eye is currently

" pink " where it should be white, and feels " gritty " like sand is in the eye.

Doesn't hurt, just uncomfortable.

 

Obviously, oils are not indicated for an eye condition. Have chamomile tea bags

which I will wet down and put on eye for ten minutes tonight and again in the

morning. Any other suggestionsthat anybody may have are gratefully accepted!

 

This is killing me because I have a month old grandson that I can't be around

until this is cleared up. And guess what???? Mother's Day is Sunday, and I can't

hold my grandson.

 

I think I will call an eye doctor to get another medical opinion....

 

Thank you!

Make a poultice from the fresh melisa herb.

Thank you so very much for your suggestions!

 

As for the breastmilk, unfortunately, my daughter did not produce enough milk

for the little guy, which is common in first babies. We almost lost my

daughter...she lost a lot of blood giving birth, and her blood pressure went

down to 70/50, and she had to have 2 units of blood. She tried really hard to

breastfeed, but the baby was obviously not getting anything, even after a week.

Jordan (baby) lost a pound from his birthweight of 8 pounds 7.5 ounces. Krysti

was pumping manually, but was only producing an ounce a day. Jordan was really

jaundiced, and was very close to being hospitalized. We put baby on formula, and

that was the end of that. Baby's liver went to normal in one day; plus both mom

and baby

weren't getting so frustrated. Sorry. Didn't mean to write a book about this...

 

As for rose hydrosol, I have some. Spray into the eye? Or mix with cham " tea " ? I

will do the " tea " bit once every two hours....

 

Again, thank you so much for the suggestions!

At the chance of being shot down for being a " snake oil " saleswoman on the oils

list, ...may I suggest a drop of a good quality colloidal silver (the kind with

very small mm particles)...it has cured many an eye infection (or pre-infection)

for everyone that I know who has used it, me included. And it works very fast! I

doen't sting or leave a film like the prescribed creams, etc.
