I'd appreciate any wisdom on type of birth...
Just FWIW: you can bathe kids/adults in breastmilk and it's totally awesome for the skin, so instead of wasting the milk, pour it into the bathwater ;-) I might try that, DS does have a bit of a tendancy to dry, itchy skin. This stuff was mostly the early stuff with colostrum still mixed in, so I'm not sure it kept as well in the freezer as plain milk would have done and by the time it was obvious it wasn't going to get used, I think some of it had started to turn.

If your milk did not keep as well as it should have in the freezer, it may have high lipase content. You may need to scald it before storing it. --Betsy |

I had wondered about that, but given DD was refusing to take it even fresh, she just wouldn't take anything but my breast I didn't have to cross that bridge. Do you know if that's something that women are likely to have every time, of if it can appear in one breastfeeding cycle and not another, as I was fine with DS. There were an awful lot of reasons for it not keeping, like it being in a freezer that was opened and closed regularly, it being a self defrosting freezer and possibly too near the edges, also, I think by the time I binned it it may well have been kept too long for that kind of freezer anyway, I'm also extremely sensitive to the smell of milk, so fresh milk smells and tastes off to me, so I'm a very poor judge of what it was really like, but if I don't like the smell, I'm hardly going to wash my kids in it! Even if it would have been fine to drink, she did eventually take a small amount, but I think it was probably fresh. Cheers Anne |
