 Topic: Breastfeeding Improves Your Eyesight!!!
Posted: 15 February 2008 at 12:50pm |

I had my eyes tested yesterday and my eyesight has improved. This stumped the optometrist so she asked me a few questions and I told her I was breastfeeding and she said it can improve your eyesight...weird!

Wow, that's pretty cool!

Hmm....perhaps it takes longer than 3 weeks to notice any improvement

That's cool, do they stay better or do they revert back to normal when you stop?

I've never heard that. Mind you I was at a conference recently that had a lecture on pregnancy and eyes and whilst it was the only talk I paid any attention to (Tom was only 10wks old) I obviously didnt pay enough

I should have 20/20 vision then I've been bfing for nearly 11 months but still can't see my hand in focus if I put it out in front of my face without my contacts.  too Blind to notice any change I guess.
edited to fix spelling....it's not that I can't spell I just can't see the mistakes

What is it meant to improve - I'm short-sighted and nothing changed here

I haven't got 20/20 vision, and am still blind as, but my prescription changed significantly enough for my opto to think he has stuffed up and called me back in to check again.

It's weird - cause I breastfed Zac for 9 months and no change but have been breastfeeding Samara for 6 months and it has improved.
