XP from BF
After defrosting and subsequently throwing away 12 oz of BM this
evening, I believe I have excess lipase. Is it possible that only some
of my milk is affected? I was defrosting October milk and the 6th, 7th,
and 10th was bad but the 8th was ok? I also read it could be due to fish
oil, which I have been taking on and off since LO's birth. Also, I have
kept fresh milk in the fridge up to 5 days and it has smelled
fresh...it's only the frozen milk that has been a problem, does this
still sound like lipase? Or a storage issue?
Re: XP: Lipase
Babe drank one ounce then wouldn't have it. I tasted it and threw up in my mouth. I'm freaking out that most of my 200+ oz stash is ruined..I don't know if I should just scald the milk from now on. Thank you, Kellers!
Sometimes, I'm hilarious.
I did, too... it tasted like metal. But we tried making it even warmer than normal [she already takes a HOT bottle] and it worked... GL!
As to why only some milk is affected, maybe it is the point of when it was frozen? My milk gets funky after 24 hours, which is also when I used to freeze I EP and am usually a day ahead of them. So when I pump and freeze right away the milk is just fine for a months or 6 weeks. If I wait longer, it sours after about 2 weeks it seems. So now it gets scalded and then I make bottles and freeze.
If your baby refuses the milk, hold on to it for starting solids...often they will take it mixed with cereal or fruit after all.
