My milk tastes horrible!

tannembaum · Apr 4th, 2012, 04:21 AM

Any reason why?
Lo went on a 3 day strike and still isnt that interested, what can I do?

Is your LO teething? I'm sure she will eat when she's hungry

Alex did the same when he was teething.

Hi,

Did you eat anything unusual? Did you taste your foremilk which is thin and runny and not very flavorful or your hind milk which looks a lot more like regular milk and is very sweet?

tannembaum · Apr 4th, 2012, 04:24 AM

Nope not teething. I'm sure it's my milk, I just gave some expressed milk to my toddler as she's poorly and she said yuck, so I tried it and it's not nice

No haven't had anything different, had some cod last night but that's not unusual.
It was a bit of hind and fore milk I had.

Was it freshly expressed or had it been sitting in the fridge/freezer for some time? Some women's milk turns soapy tasting after it has been sitting for a bit (mine especially does after freezing). It's perfectly ok for LO to drink, but my toddler will only drink it cold. I've never heard of freshly expressed milk tasting bad, so I don't have any ideas about that, sorry!

I think we'd find it yuck anyway, both my older boys tried mine and said eurgh!

Zane doesn't like my milk n I don't exactly like it myself lol
When Corey was 5 months old he went thru a stage of not wanting milk, I would try to force feed him but that made it worse n I got bit.

Just keep offering every 2/3 hours, I'm sure she will feed right again soon

I agree with cutie4evr, it may be the way it is stored. I followed exact guidelines and sterilused bottles etc. but my milk was off after a couple of days. My fridge is very cool too. Just a thought anyway

Nope it was straight from the boob, I even tried hand expressing just incase it was my pump but it still tasted the same. Funnily enough LO has been eating today although she hasn't seemed to like it much.
