breastmilk butter

now, you must know i hesitated writing this post, because i was afraid some of you might be so grossed out you would stop reading my blog. but, my husband insisted i write it....
so , poor Sebastian has been sick yesterday and today. no fun fever and terrible diarreah sick. poor baby. anywho, he had been potty-trianed, in underwear for the last two weeks. but diareah can throw a wrench in any potty training success.and boy does it make for a nasty bum rash. and here i am with no disposables, only cloth. but you can't use diaper rah cream with cloth diapers, because it makes them no soak up anymore. so i had a brilliant idea , after remebering two post i read on motheringdotcommune a little while back... one was about uses for breastmilk , one of them was for diaper rashes. the other post was about how someone had (accidentaly) made breastmilk butter when blending her milk (i don't know WHY she was blending her milk, but i digress). So i put 1 and 2 together and decided to make some "diaper cream"AKA breastmilk butter for his poor bum. so i did. i made butter. from my own milk. i rock. lol

How long did you have to blend it for? Also, did you try eating and if so was it pleasant?
