Milk going sour too quickly
I've noticed that suddenly my EBM is going sour really quickly anybody know
why this is? The temp of the fridge is ok. The only thing I can think of is that I'm not very well at the moment. I'm waiting to see a cardiologist because of a very irregular heartbeat, that is making me feel really crappy and tired all the time. I can understand this affecting my supply levels, which it seems to have, but would it affect the quality of m milk as well? TIA Ellie DD & DS almost 6 months old!! :o) |

What did go through my mind was - do you keep the milk in the fridge door? The weather has gotten that little bit warmer and this *could* make a difference. Other than that, no clue. --Poppy n Pup |

Other than that, no clue. --Poppy n Pup No I always make sure it's in the main part of the fridge so that it's at a constant temperature. It's got me baffled - not so long ago my milk would keep for almost a week before starting to go sour. On another note there was a Lollipop nappy display in one of our local shopping centres today - of course my mother in law only told me about it this evening and not at 11 am when she saw it :o( But I'm going tomorrow just in case it's there again - she said the rainbow fleece outers were gorgeous.

But I'm going tomorrow just in case it's there again - she said the rainbow fleece outers were gorgeous. Oh and they *are*. They are our favourite right now- soft n cuddly but funky too and easy to use. A brilliant little add-on to your prefolds - and the Rainbows are stuffables so that's where they tie in with your prefolds :-) How convenient - stuff with a prefold :-) I did warn Yvette and Jacky that you be flying in but only Yvette got back to me (incidentally I haven't physically met either of them) Good luck --Poppy |

I can understand this affecting my supply levels, which it seems to have, but would it affect the quality of m milk as well? I don't know what you mean by 'sour'. If 'soapy' is a better description, maybe it's an excess lipase problem. I've heard this can be corrected by scalding the milk after pumping and before storing, to deactivate the lipase. If it's genuinely sour, though, I'm afraid I don't have any idea. --angela |

I don't have any really plausible explanation but I just wonder, what are you storing the milk in and how are you cleaning it in between uses? It strikes me as just possible that maybe some bacteria are surviving from one use to the next, in which case that might be the explanation. Maybe try sterilising the container, assuming you're not doing that routinely, and see if that makes a difference? Sidheag DS Colin Oct 27 2003 |

Pukey like vomit, or metallic and soapy? I have high lipase and have to scald my milk within about 24 hours of pumping or it smells *vile* -- an intense, burn your nostrils soapy smell. If I scald it, then it keeps like normal milk. Apparently this problem can come and go, so even if it wasn't an issue before it could start being one now. Kate and the Bug, almost 10 months (wow!) |

It's not the soapy smell, I get that sometimes with thawed EBM and thw twins
take it fine - it's really sour and twins won't take it. Fortunately DH had extra to give them that day so we were ok. I'm not doing anything different to what I normally do so I can't understand it, I guess we'll have to see what happens. Ellie |

It's the Ameda Lactaline Dual - aka the purely yours
I've now had it all to pieces - sterilised everything three times. Don't know what to do next if it keeps happening. Ellie "CY" wrote in message news:WVtbc.7308$zh.4950@fed1read07...
