Oh could it ge something you've eaten yourself? I've heard some babies are put off your milj/feed fusdily if you"ve eaten spicy food, citrus fruit, tomatoes, to name some things. This just popped into my head, might help? Good luck xxx

Could it be a blockage? Sometimes if milk has been sitting in the boob for a long time, it goes salty. I wasn't sure of this until I had a blocked duct, when I hand expressed it out, it was all watery looking and I could taste some saltiness to it. Normally it's quite sweet and creamier looking (esp towards end of the feed)

Mine tastes salty from one breast and not the other, so LO loves one breast and resents the other. I have to feed the salty one first. Do both of your breasts produce the same tasting BM?

I have heard if breastmilk stays in your breast(like during a nursing strike) it can get salty. So either he would have to nurse from it or you can express it and dump it then try when they fill up with fresh milk . Or if your older child didnt like it maybe it was because it was stored breasmilk? Mine tastes fine freshly expressed but once its been stored in fridge in freezer it starts to taste awful because of the enzyme that separates it
