Jewelry

If you’re a fan of pieces of jewelry that have sentimental value, or those with charms that correspond to a certain life event, why not make a necklace charm from your breast milk? It’s a keepsake that will always remind you of your nursing days, or perhaps you can give it to your child when he or she is old enough to appreciate its significance. Check out Hollyday Designs for different ideas on how to immortalize your breast milk.

Figurines

Nick Gant and Tanya Dean, designers from the United Kingdom, molded breast milk into the shape of booties to bring attention to World Breast Milk Donation Day.

Soaps and lotions

The health benefits of breast milk range from using it to help heal baby’s diaper rash, to providing relief to sore nipples, so just imagine its beautifying effects on your skin too!

Milk substitute for food

There was a lot of hooplah surrounding what others called “human cheese”, which is essentially cheese made out of breast milk. How do you feel about having someone else besides your baby have a taste of your breast milk, or perhaps have your baby taste another mother's breast milk? Whatever your stance is, it’s natural to be curious as to what would happen if you substitute the milk you usually use in the kitchen for breast milk. It’s been done for ice cream, cupcakes, lollipops, creamer for coffee, and even risotto!
