Please help: 3 yo with brain injury

[Penny4Them]

A close friend of ours has a 3 yo who has endured a physical brain injury that has put him in a coma, now nearly for a month. He is showing some signs of improvement, but very slow. I desperately want to help them.

I am currently nursing my baby, and would like to offer my extra breastmilk to help him to recover. I wonder if anyone knows of any research or stories of success from children (toddler age) that improved from brain injuries with BM treatment? Right now I believe the child has a feeding tube.

Thank you so much for any experience/direction you can share. If you think BM could help, how much would I need to donate to him daily? Do you think doctors/hospital would even entertain this idea? (I don't know if this would be considered a radical idea or not, but if the parents are convinced of the possibility of this helping, could they insist doctors feed BM?)

thats very generous of you, they are lucky to have you as a friend.

i'm a pretty diehard lactavist, but i'm not quite sure that even magic mama milk could pull a child out of a coma or reverse brain damage.

it might work well to sort of prime the digestive system though to make the transition back to solid food easier, enzymes and probiotics and all.

that said, it would take a VERY progressive doctor to go for something like that, but maybe the parents could just decide to offer sips when they get the go ahead for clear liquids.

best wishes for a full recovery
