Ok what the hell...

So, I've never thought BM tasted very good TBH, but I just thawed some from my stash to use & thought I'd take a sip to make sure it was good, & I about threw up (& kinda wish I had). The other bag I thawed was the same. I don't really know why? Ugh. They didn't smell bad even, but it tasted like spit up, ugh so gross. . I feel like I don't really know how to tell if it's good since I already don't care for the taste. Any pointers? I'm hoping I didn't just toss good milk but I just can't imagine her drinking that.

@herc, thanks for the link. It's weird, I've actually read about that before, but just never thought that's what it would taste like. I read down in the comments though & a lot of people mentioned the spit up taste. I wonder if LO would've drank it. ::shivers:: She has never refused thawed milk before so maybe she would have...I just can't imagine though. Ugh.

You're projecting your taste preferences and relationships/associations/likes&dislikes onto your little one, which may not be appropriate. She doesn't have the same frames of reference or taste bud "memory".

I have lipase issues with my thawed milk and LO drinks it with no problems.

Ok so I just thawed some milk from just a few days ago instead, just in case that other milk was somehow old. To compare I tasted that too, & although it didn't make me want to vomit quite as much it was still pretty gross to me. I probably do have that lipase issue. Moral of the story I guess is that I will no longer be tasting any milk, lol, I'll just be letting LO decide. Hopefully my whole stash is not lost.
