better late than never?? 3 yo DD was FF as baby, now I am bf'ing ds should i give DD breastmilk? could it help her excema and constant chest infections???

[papaya]

just wondered if anyone else had ever tried this?!??! Or if its too late for dd to get any benefits? would love to think as she was FF that she could get some goodness from my breastmilk even if its better late than never!

papaya, I would think it's a great idea. Any breast milk is better than none and of course it's better late than never. The only thing I would say against it is that it can be hard finding time to express as well as feeding your ds.
Is your dd dairy-intolerant btw?

papaya, breastmilk has been used for a number of medical conditions, given to older kids and even to adults - I don't know if there is any proper research done on it, but there is anecdotal stuff that it helps.

It cannot possibly do any harm, and as it is a nutritious food and drink package, with antibodies and other good stuff, it may well give your toddler a health boost.
Good luck

Let us all know how you get on!
