I hesitated for my first baby. I enjoyed it for my second baby and was super grateful I did it. My amazing independent midwife advised me to use a few drops of my own breastmilk to heal my newborn baby’s sticky eye lids. It worked like a charm. Breastmilk is also fantastic for the belly button when the cord has just been cut. It allows it to heal nicely and rapidly. May we always trust our intuition.
