I was thinking of this tonight, that I'd try it on DS's eczema. Would you just wipe it on with cotton wool?

Cradle cap! Worked a treat when mixed with a bit of lansinoh.

It improved the appearance of the pores on my nose Grin

AngelDog- cotton wool is probably the best way to go, I tried to just squirt it on DD1's back but she moves too fast.

Ice cream. You can't make cheese as it lacks a specific enzyme but I think yogurtvwould be possible.

Now I just need to try again to pump some. I'm thinking that trying on a day when 20 m.o. DS has been feeding at roughly half-hourly intervals (sometimes less) wasn't the best time to try. Hmm

Nooooo silly you poach the fish in the breastmilk with clove-studded onion quarters and bay leaves, then once its fishy clovey oniony bay flavoured you make the white sauce with it Smile Add nutmeg, season, bung the fish back in, slap the mash on top and bung it in the oven for half an hour.

The man in the Sun today was going to see how long he could survive on just breastmilk. Pumped and frozen, not directly from his wife.

Paschaelina - that's good to know, I was wondering how i was going to post fish food through my nipples...

Miss - why not directly from his wife? I don't think it will last - there was that 1yr old in france who was ebf, and died of malnutrition.
