I'm always convinced it tastes different, probably because we have a very
varied diet with tons of different cuisines..sometimes it tastes sweet and
bland and other times a bit soapy of all things...never sour though. Would
the
milk reek or become very curdled if it were spoiled? I'm getting nuts and
sometimes I'm convinced that two day old milk is bad....It drives me crazy
to
dump milk that took me forever to pump. I don't freeze because I am a SAHM
and
I teach at home in the evenings for only three house so we only need one
bottle
a day.

You'd know if it was off because it would taste horrible. If it's soapy,
it's because of lipase and you shouldn't worry about it (unless your child
won't eat soapy milk, but many will). When it's bad, it's really bad and
you'll know.
