Breastmilk is not just for babies

This quote is taken from a breastmilk donation place, the National Milk Bank:

"Will only babies receive my donated milk?
Any milk donated through NMB will ONLY go to sick babies in hospitals. However, breastmilk does have uses in the adult market as well. People with cancer drink breast milk to calm their stomachs after chemotherapy, make their immune systems stronger and help digest food. Burn patients use it to heal their burned skin. Organ transplant patients use breast milk to fight infections."

Very interesting. I've also heard that it helps heal ear infections in children when it put into the ear, and it also helps heal "goopy eye" or whatever its called when babies get crusty eyes. So not only is breastfeeding best for babies, its good for others too.

Disclaimer: I am not advocating that we all go out and drink breastmilk. I just thought that this was interesting.

By popular demand...

Due to complaints from those who shall remain nameless, :) I was going to remove the picture of the dead mouse. However, I am proud of my dead mouse and am going to leave it on here. But, I decided I would make another post to at least bump it down on the page. I don't really have anything to say. Hmmm.... My thoughts lately:

• I've jumped on the "I don't like Shula" bandwagon
• My frozen milk is taking over my freezer--we don't have room for our food
• I'm tired of Tyler eating (or not eating) the same thing all the time
• I am loving this weather, it's such a nice change--especially for the power bill
• I love it when I get a really good coupon for something I buy all the time
• I think my kids get more adorable everyday

Well, that's enough thoughts. I'm too tired. Yes, its 8:45pm and I'm ready for bed.
