Kourtney Kardashian Does Breastmilk “in the Nose” Trick
Kourtney Kardashian, breastfeeding, and infant noses: already, the reality star has proven to be a better mom than I am. I was reading her blog on People‘s Moms & Babies site, and came across this line, in response to a fan who asks why she doesn’t breastfeed on airplanes, rather than bringing a bottle of pumped milk: “I actually do nurse on takeoff and landing while traveling. But I bring the bottle for emergencies and for the milk in the nose trick.”
The Milk in the Nose trick? A quick search shows I may be the only new mom not clued in to this.
Apparently, breastmilk works like saline solution to clear an infant’s congested nose. A few drops or a quick squirt is all it takes. Kourtney also wrote, “I’ve nursed Mason while shopping in the shoe section at Neiman Marcus, in dressing rooms, in my car, wherever I need to.”
How about the rest of you, did you already know breastmilk-nose trick? And have you actually squirted breastmilk up your tots nostrils?

So hunny, You are not the only new mom that doesnt know this trick.
LogicalMama commented on Jun 22 10 at 3:12 pma little breast milk in the eyes can help a blocked tear duct as well as any other eye irritations a baby might have!
Clare commented on Jun 23 10 at 12:41 amI didn’t know about this either! I only breastfed for a month or so because my little boy turned out to have infant lactose intolerance. I’m glad I know about this now though for my next baby!
newtome2 commented on Jul 01 10 at 12:00 pmI didn’t know about it either until today. My baby is 5wks4days with congestion so I was looking up solutions and saw that too about breast milk. I told my mom (who is 55) and she said she has NEVER heard about that in all these years. She breastfed my brother (age 30) and me (age 23) for the first year of our life. It’s pretty cool how valuable breast milk really is!
