I struggle with severe eczema and unfortunately our boy got my skin so we are all the time taking breast milk and oat baths so I’ve been dying to try and make some bar soap for us as well. It’s truly a life saver for our skin!
I love this!! But I know breast milk goes bad after 4 days in the fridge, to be safe what is the shelf life when it’s made in soap and lotion like that, and how do you store it?
Do you only use it for like babies who aren’t newborns? Or can you use it with newborns as well. I’m pregnant with my first baby and I don’t want to use any of those baby soaps on her skin when she’s born. So I’m just wondering if you can also use this soap for babies fresh out the womb lol
Love your video. I never thought of using breast milk in lotion, but again, breastmilk is best for your babies. Very informative 👏 thank you 😊
thanks so much! I’m glad you found it helpful!

How much breast milk should I use for the soap? I just purchased the supplies you recommended and want to surprise my wife. Thanks for the video
4 oz a batch , or you can do 6oz a batch.
I make both soap and lotion. How do you prevent the growth of mold without using a preservative?
Breastmilk has so many great benefits my sister uses her breastmilk for everything lol! This is so interesting!
Your sister and I are the same! I love breastmilk for my babies!
This video is awesome, need to try it for my baby.
Is a Dr.Bronners peppermint soap bar a safe soap base?
I wouldn’t use peppermint on baby skin but for an adult maybe!
I love this!! But I know breast milk goes bad after 4 days in the fridge, to be safe what is the shelf life when it’s made in soap and lotion like that, and how do you store it?
Thanks! It’s good for about 6 months
Love the idea too. How do you store it though
I love tysm for sharing will be trying it for myself
I’m so glad! thanks for watching!
I believe our foremothers used left over breast milk for skincare as well! This craft is a very essential one to care for.🤍🌿
I believe the same thing ❤️ thanks for being here
Ahh! I love this! I’m looking forward to trying it out 😁
I’m so glad!
Hi :) Can I blend the oats instead of using it whole? Also, does the lotion heal eczema ? Thanks
Thanks for your comment! It does wonders for eczema! I’m sure you could blend it but I’ve never tried it that way!
Thanks for your prompt response. One last question please. Can one add blended oatmeal to the lotion? To sort of fortify it? Thanks
Also, can I use old frozen breast milk for this?
@@oyinkansolayusuff6571 yes! that’s what I used. make sure it’s room temp before you add it to the soap
Do you have to refrigerate the soap?
I didn't see it anywhere in your video. Do you know what the shelf life is on the lotion and the soap ???
Soap doesn't expire. Not sure about the lotion
Definitely gonna do this when I have my baby… hopefully I am milk producer 😩😩
you will be ♥️
This soo neat! Thank you sharing❤
You are so welcome!
How long does it stay good for after making
good job
thank you!
How long does the soap last for?
Thank you so much
no problem! thank you for being here!
how long we can keep it ??
I’m about to make myself some to see if it cures this postpartum hives/rash
that’s a great idea! I had a postpartum rash/hives too & didn’t even think to use it on myself! let me know how it works!
Hello! I bought grape seed oil and I didn’t know there was a difference for skin and cooking… am I still allowed to use the cooking oil for this?
Hey 👋 thanks for your video, very informative I want to make the breast milk lotion but I'm wondering how long can you keep it ? Tia xx
Hi! It’s good for about 6 months
It's mandatory to use beeswax?
Is honey soap base tear free?
Can you use almond oil for the lotion? Asking bc I have that on hand as well as everything else. Thanks in advance!
Yes! I’d just make sure your baby isn’t allergic to nuts first before using it
How long do you keep lotion in the fridge before you trash and make it fresh ?
Have you ever tried making the chapstick?
It can last up to 6 months but I never make enough for it to last that long. & I’ve never tried it but chapstick sounds amazing!
How long is the soap good for in the fridge?
6 months in or out of the fridge
Can the breastmilk lotion be used for cradle cap?
it worked well for my baby’s cradle cap!
How long is the soap and lotion good for?
it’s good for about 6 months
What are your measurements?
I made soap but it won’t harden. I wonder what I did wrong. The soaps are not firm and they melt right away when put on water.
Which scented oil do you use?
lavender
Can I use olive oil rather than grape seed oil?
yes!
Me right now wanting to make breastmilk soap with an almost 2 year old and newborn just like you lol (i know this was a year ago)
I hope this helps with my youngest’s baby acne that looks like eczema to me. I look like it bothers her🥺
Do you only use it for like babies who aren’t newborns? Or can you use it with newborns as well. I’m pregnant with my first baby and I don’t want to use any of those baby soaps on her skin when she’s born. So I’m just wondering if you can also use this soap for babies fresh out the womb lol
yes this is perfect for newborns. this is the only soap i use on my newborn as well
I was told that you can’t use melt and pour soap with milk and oats because it will mold?
Same. You shouldn’t. You should mix it with lye I believe & you have to wait a while for it to cure.
