Does breastmilk cure pinkeye?

Breastmilk, not just for breakfast anymore!

This totally blows my mind. I have three daughters under the age of four and I am currently breastfeeding one. And in like the past six months they have passed conjunctivitis around to each other several times. Hopefully this will help. Thanks!
