Milk going sour too quickly
"Ellie" wrote in message ... I've noticed that suddenly my EBM is going sour really quickly anybody know why this is? The temp of the fridge is ok. I had that problem and think it was because of lipase levels. That's the enzyme that digests fat, and causes the milk to curdle and taste sour and soapy. My milk lasted an hour in the fridge, but about three hours if never refrigerated. It soured an hour after thawing, and the milk kept frozen at 0° F for only two months. My milk kept so poorly (and DS would not drink it then) that I want to gag when I read here about women whose milk keeps in the fridge for days! You can scald the milk before storing it to denature the enzyme, but you also diminish the immune-boosting qualities of the milk. Beth |

Milk going sour too quickly
I have this pump and did not realize for AGES that the white valves (inside
the pump flanges or "horns") come off due to them being assembled when it arrived. When I finally realized it, I took it apart to find dried up milk inside. Luckily I did not ever feed my DD the pumped milk (she refused to take a bottle!). Anyway I guess the moral to the story is are you completely taking it apart?? "Ellie" wrote in message ... 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... How about your pump? What kind is it??? "Ellie" wrote in message ... 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 |

DS is highly unimpressed with my soapy milk, and it goes soapy very quickly.

"Linz" wrote in message ... Okay, how do I scald milk? I never had to do it with human milk, but think that there must be instructions out there. When scalding cow's milk, you simply bring it to a nearly seething stage and then take it off the heat, before it scorches. I would bet that one would also want to rapidly cool scalded human milk.

Okay, how do I scald milk? What I do is put it in the smallest saucepan we have and heat it just until it's barely bubbling at the edges. You have to keep a pretty close eye on it because it doesn't take long, and it progresses from that stage to a full boil pretty quickly. Kate and the Bug, 10 months |

Yes it's completely taken apart and cleaned each time I pump - and I've opened a fresh pack of valves just in case although the ones that were on haven't been on long - I do a lot of pumping because of my work!

Does scalding destroy any of the immunity-boosting (not sure if I'm
articulating properely...) properties of breast milk? |
